Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom by Ilyon Woo

informative slow-paced

3.0

okay let me just say, Ellen Craft and William Craft are badass heroes who we should have all been taught about in our history classes. Ellen literally disguised herself as an ill wealthy white man to escape slavery!!! fooling every white person she came across. the wit, the drive, the cunningness - absolutely INCREDIBLE 

butttt when i say this book is dry, like as dry as the Sahara. it is 100% an academic book and it serves it’s purpose. i hope history teachers and professors use it. but dont go reading this book looking for character or storytelling. read it because you want to hear about and Ellen and William’s story, because it is a story we need to hear and know
