    More on her life, less of her art
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2017*

I was hoping for a bit more art, but it's mostly Ormes life story, which is cool and deserves to be told. Also the art that is reproduced is not from original art sources, but from printed matter so the quality is often mediocre. Still a good book. Well researched.

    a woman with a passion
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2008*

The story of Jackie Ormes is unique that she was female cartoonist at time when that field was solely male.  Secondly Jackie Ormes was an African American in a field predominately white.  With two strikes against her, what does Ms. Ormes do but hit a home run.  She was a timely and politically correct artist who kept herself and her work contemporary and relevant with her African American community at a time when they were neglected in the mainstream white papers.  Jackie's work was artistically well done with dialogue and a story line to keep her readership ready to read the next issue.  The research done by the author Nancy Goldstein was thorough and the writing keeps the reader's interest focused without losing a beat page after page.  I wish that someone would publish her columns in a single volume so that today's readers could get a feel for this talented artist who needs to be recognized for her consistent and her ground breaking work that would allow other female artists to follow in her foot- steps.  I highly recommend this scholarly book to anyone interested in the field of writing, cartoon artwork, and in African American history.

    Who Knew?
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2009*

This is a welcome addition to Black History literature, especially during Black History month.  For those who espouse getting rid of this annual celebration, the Jackie Ormes book is testimony to the continued need to learn more about blacks from the past whose lives would be forgotten without diligent authors and researchers determined not to let black talents disappear.  The Ormes biography is well written, fully illustrated, and inclusive of historical data about Ormes's family and the geographic areas where she and her family lived.  Readers also learn about the effects of politics on the entertainment and journalism industries of the Ormes eras.  It is a certainty that many readers old enough to remember E. Simms Campbell and the "Jess Be Simple" columns had never heard of Jackie Ormes.  It would be a disgrace to have gone through life not knowing about such a charismatic and talented artist.
