Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts by Rebecca Hall

4.0

challenging dark informative sad medium-paced

---

This was a really educational and eye opening book. We follow our author who is the main character as she researches woman as slaves and how they revolted and what impacts they made. It shows a present day author doing the actual research then shows that time periods and what happened. I really had no idea some of these things had happened. It was a very emotional read, I can’t believe humans were actually treated this poorly and just as property it breaks my heart. The artwork was not my typical style but it was still detailed and really got the point of the story across.
I would recommend that everyone picks up this graphic novel to read.
