no offense to mrs. prince but this was just so weirdly written that it was just not enjoyable to me. I think she had a keen eye but perhaps not a keen temperament for writing.

A very important book, but not a very readable book. My 2 stars simply indicates that I found it nearly impossible to follow. HOWEVER, a book by a black woman from this time period is of very very great importance. My problem was reading it like a book, not for its importance to our understanding of the incredible difficulties for woman and especially black women

Honestly, some sections were written quite poetically and had a rather optimistic tone to them. Her writing was very eloquent, although it sometimes did not grab my attention and I became lost due to a lack of focus on the narrative. Perhaps this is a personal problem because of my disinterest in maritime works. Otherwise though, it was a very well-done piece of writing.

She lead a fascinating life and her story is important. I learned about her on a plaque in newburyport MA - The book is not well written- someone should investigate her life and rewrite this or make it a movie
