Wells was] a sophisticated fighter whose prose was as thorough as her intellect.--Walter Goodman, New York Times

An illuminating narrative of a zealous, race-conscious, civic- and church-minded black woman reformer, whose life story is a significant chapter in the history of Negro-White relations.--Thelma D. Perry, Negro History Bulletin
