Terry Mcmillian's Report

Decent Essays

Terry Mcmillian wrote this book on purely her observations from a young age which explains the origin of the novel, basically growing up with a single mother who worked in a factory not able to get a sustainable job because of no education as well as the fact that she was a black American woman. This book however could not be factually reliable but could help the historian in a sense to get a clearer understanding of the women’s struggle. The author’s intention is clear on getting her side of the story out on black woman trying to make it in this world therefore this source has a limitation because it is only her point of view that we are exposed to and writings and stories are sometimes exaggerated and edited to make a best seller.
