So, she wrote a 'political' autobiography. She didn't see herself as so special or disconnected in any way from the lives of the millions of struggling people that she and her struggle sought to better. Davis did not like the idea of a 'personal' autobiography and was very reluctant to do the book in the first place. Read it with an open mind and any knowledge you may have of the 60's and 70's and you'll do just fine. It's a very intelligent, articulate book that doesn't try to dumb down its message for the uninitiated. You're not going to get neat drawn-out analogies that compares human struggle to a football game or any such nonsense. First off, for anyone who finds this book dry or boring, understand one thing: this is not pop fiction.
