The two sisters are candid and fun as they talk about various topics; from telephones and washing machines; to much more serious topics like Jim Crow.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. As it should beBy Girlease Bra LinerIf only everyone had the ethics of these two ladies. Such sweet and warm inspiration. I purchased several copies; and each person that I've given a copy to has adored it! A true American treasure. THIS is a book that should be taught in our public schools!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Great bookBy KellyYears ago; I had gone back to school as an adult student. I had dropped out of college at 20; and lived to regret that decision. By the time I was 30; I was broke; exhausted from the demands of working two jobs and sttending classes full time and really wondering where all the time had gone. One day during a break between classes I went to the free rack at the campus library and saw the Delany sisters' book "Having Our Say". The book had originally been released during my first stint in college when I was about 19. I remembered seeing it in all the bookstores but I couldn't imagine at the time what a couple of 100+ year olds would have to say to me in all my youth and splendor. I never bought the book; but 11 years later I pulled it off the free shelf and ended up reading it in one sitting.Eventually; I also got this book (this time I paid for it). The Delany Sisters' outlook on life is amazing. I have read and re-read both this book and "Having Our Say" many times over. This book talks about everything from the appropriate way a woman should dress; the difference between self indulgence and self-respect; and how to take care of yourself mentally; physically; economically and spiritually.I wish I had gotten a dose of this as a younger woman...it would have saved me some hard times. I am now 36; and I think the Delaney sisters would agree that no age is too late to adopt some of the philosophy expressed in this book.
