Genteel Rebel: The Life of Mary Greenhow Lee

2 journalers for this copy...
This book was pretty good, especially considering I registered it earlier today and already finished it! The book is 259 pages but the actual text is about half that if you knock off all the bibliography footnotes and the index. I really enjoyed reading about the journal piece in the introduction, and I thought the relationship with her brother was pretty neat in that he helped educate and involve her in politics, which was little harder in those times being a woman. I could really have done without the chapter about all her relationships with love-interests because I thought it was boring. I really admired that she was a person with such a strong influence, powerful and gutsy, and I enjoyed reading about her run-ins with the Unionist soldiers. I am thankful for women's rights and for the women who worked so hard to establish them, but unfortunately, I hate reading about it because I find that subject boring too. However, I thought the book was interesting because Mary Greenhow Lee was an interesting and inspiring character and leader.
