Book Review of One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd

One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


I found this book shallow, and with little merit. The writing was jerky and uninspiring; I didn't like how he moved from a diary style to narrative and back again. I take exception to the use of the word squaw (yes it was an offensive word then as it is now). It was again a man trying to write in a womens voice without a true understanding of how we work/think. I do NOT recommend it.
