Book Review: Booker T. Washington's "The Man Farthest Down"

​On August 20, 1910, Booker T. Washington left America on a journey to study Europe’s “Man Farthest Down.” He returned a little less than two months later on October 13th. This is one of the conclusions he draws after completing his journey:

​"The man farthest down in Europe is woman.

​"Women have the narrowest outlook, do the hardest work, stand in greatest need of education, and are farthest removed from influences which are everywhere raising the level of life of the European people."

"The Man Farthest Down" is an excellent book that is on par with the other three books that I have reviewed of Booker T. Washington's: "Up from Slavery," "Character Building," and "My Larger Education."
