### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Glad to hear this story
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 17, 2022*

Representation is so important, and this book features a Black woman who becomes a firefighter against the odds. She represents what is possible. It’s a darling book for kids, both boys and girls.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    engaging, lyrical story, beautifully illustrated, but not authentic
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 28, 2014*

I first learned about Molly Williams on the Stuff Mom Never Told You podcast titled, Firefighting Women. I ordered this book because it's the only children's book I've seen on the subject, but had reservations based on the book description and reviews that indicated the book had an eye for historical accuracy while at the same time insinuating Molly was a servant or volunteer. Unfortunately, my concerns were validated when I received the book, which does refer to Molly Williams as a servant, and later on indicates that "Volunteer # 11" was an affectionate nickname that Molly proudly embraced, rather than being indicative of the racist and sexist attitudes of the era and the resulting tendency not to bother naming racial minorities or women in official records.I get that this is a fictionalized account, and that it's a book for children. I also recognize that we know very, very little about Molly Williams. That still doesn't, in my mind, justify the ways Molly's reality was changed by portraying her as a servant or volunteer when she was, by all other accounts, a slave, especially when so much effort was put into making other parts of the story historically accurate. While this doesn't in any way diminish Molly's skill or ability or what she contributed to her community, what little information I've been able to find about Molly Williams doesn't convince me that firefighting was what Molly would have chosen for herself were she not a slave. I've seen several references indicating that when asked about firefighting, Molly would respond that she belonged to the fire station, or that she went where her owner told her to go... the selfless black heroine who willingly sacrifices herself to save white people seems more fanciful (and sadly typical) white narrative than historical likelihood. Needless to say, when we read this book my children (now 6 & 11) and I also had a critical discussion about whitewashing the racism of that era and perpetuating the magical negro stereotype.I gave Molly by Golly two stars because despite my concerns listed above, it is an engaging, lyrical story that my children enjoyed, and the illustrations are beautifully done.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great story, long read

Great story, but the book is very long and not an easy ready for young kids.
