Anna G. | BOOK REVIEW: "Iola Leroy," The First Novel by a Black American Woman [CC] @nymeria941 | Uploaded July 2020 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
A book review? Who is she?? Today, we're reviving a video that helped booktube get its start and reviewing a classic that deserves more love. "Iola Leroy" is one of the first novels published in the US that was written by a Black woman. I found out about this book through a different nonfiction book, and Seji from The Artisan Geek has also made a video about it, all of which you can find down below. Have you read this underrated classic? Did you know about it before watching this video? Let me know in a comment down below!
