Critical Praise

"The life of Madam C.J. Walker is one of the great success stories of American history. The wonder of it is that On Her Own Ground is the first full-blown biography of an amazing woman."

——The Philadelphia Inquierer

"Well-paced and well-written...as much social history as biography, filled with the detail and texture of culture and politics."

——The New York Times

"Bundles always knew, on some level, that this story was hers to tell. And she tells it with a controlled passion and an integrity that would have made Madam Walker proud."

——The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"On Her Own Ground is a fascinating book about a fascinating woman....A wonderful story of an entrepreneur, but also a story about a dedicated African-American woman who was committed to giving her time and money to her community."
