Reception

The School Library Journal, in a review of Sojourner Truth wrote "With compassion and historical detail, the McKissacks offer a rich profile of Isabella Van Wagener. .. the McKissacks emphasize the condition of African-Americans from 1797-1883, their subject's convictions and magnetism, her contributions to the welfare of her people, and her involvement with other influential abolitionists and activists during the last 40 years of her life."[1]

Sojourner Truth has also been reviewed by Booklist,[2] Kirkus Reviews,[3] and Publishers Weekly.[4]
