#WomensNonfiction 1.
My great, wide, beautiful world - by Juanita Harrison

Juanita Harrison (1887-1967) was an African-American woman who published her travel memoirs in 1936. She spoke several languages and was determined to see all kinds of interesting places and meet interesting people. She took on various jobs along the way to finance her journeys.

I love this book because it is cheerful and funny and filled to the brim with love for life. Also, best title ever.

A black and white photo of Juanita walking barefoor on the beach. She is wearing a plaid wrap skirt and a sleeveless blouse, with her hair loose and swept back, and her face is lit up with a bright radiant smile. Under the photo there is an inscription: "Juanita Harrison. Author of My great, wide, beautiful world (Macmillan)"
thanks for this post! I had never heard of Harrison and want to check out her book.
