Thrilling
Madame CJ Walker by Cookie Lommel is a biography that reads easely and is most thrilling. It's interesting to discover a piece of American History that is obscure to many. Written in a way that is direct and most interesting. A book to be read---- now!

Borrows extensively from more in depth books about Walker
This paperback biography by Cookie Lommel is part of a series that generally relies on secondary sources and contains some errors. Much of it appears to borrow extensively from a more thorough, primary source biography written by A'Lelia Bundles, Madam Walker's great-great-granddaughter, in 1991 for Chelsea House.

A Balanced Account,
By A Customer
This review is from: Madam C.J. Walker III (Black American Series) (Mass Market Paperback)
C.J. Walker is a little known character in the ongoing epic of the American Dream. Cookie Lommel captures the life of this first female mllionairess without the cloying hype of political correctness. With her easy style Ms Lommel gives a detailed account of her subject's life allowing her audiences to draw their own conclusions of this monumental African-American life. As a Caucasian male I'm shamed that I did not know more before this first masterful encounter with C. J. Walker. Brava Ms Lommel
