Open Wide The Freedom Gates: A Memoir Paperback – January 26, 2005

I chose to read this book in honor of women's history month and it truly inspired and educated me. Ms. Height took me down history lane in this book about her involvement in various organizations. Some of the organizations she mentioned in the book I am ashamed to say I never even heard of. The writing style of the book kept me reading past midnight. After reading this book, I can truly say I know more about Ms. Height as a woman and the various organizations she was involved in.

I received the book in less than 3 days and I must say it is awesome. I love Dorothy Height and her life is even more of an incentive to not just live life but also contribute.=)

Loved the walk through history and the opportunity to learn of the growth women's organizations. This memoir is inspirational and challenges us all to be our best selves in our contributions to the improvement of society.

My copy went missing from my bookshelf and had to replace

There were so many important activists during the time of MLK and Rosa Parks. If you love history, want to learn more about the Civil Rights Movement or just like reading about powerful, strong women, this is must read.

Reminds you why you have rights you do. Although the struggle and oppression is not yet over, this book is a glimpse of how the past has influenced current times - both for the better and for the worse.

Wow, Soror Dorothy Height was an amazing woman and truly left her footprints for the rest of us to try and walk in. We truly stand on the shoulders of a beautiful giant.

Dr. Height was a very great woman, I like many others had a chance to meet and work with her. Her book has given me so much insight and much better appreciation for who she is.

Brilliant book.

Knowledge is power, great women are an inspiration. Those who work unnoticed can make a huge difference. Mrs. Height has done so much in her life to help others, without wanting stardom. A true hero a must read
