Say Anarcha by J.C. Hallman

Did not finish book. Stopped at 29%.
The story of Anarcha herself is one that needs to be known, but this book, thick as it is, contains too little of it in proportion. There's so much tangential information that pulls focus from her experience, as well as too much grace given to J. Marion Sims (the doctor who experimented on Anarcha without consent or anesthesia) in my opinion.
