Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 6-8-An accessible book about a woman who was thrust into history, not by design, but by circumstances. Shabazz was only 31 years old when her husband, the controversial civil rights leader Malcolm X, was assassinated. She responded to his death with determination to raise her six young children and to complete her education. She continued to fight for civil rights and with quiet dignity became a leader of the movement in her own right. With grace, she endured many social, personal, and historical upheavals. Several average-quality, black-and-white photographs illustrate the book. This smoothly written biography of a woman of uncommon strength will appeal to children and may stimulate them to learn more about her.-Daniel Mungai, Queens Borough Public Library, NY
