leaving the reader to ponder how it relates to the women or to the Word of God. Dr. Tarver uses the phrase, 'dyed in the wool' - as coined so poignantly by Abolitionist Frederick Douglass in describing his own political party devotion - to describe the commitment of the women she highlights. Metaphorically speaking, 'dyed in the wool' perfectly describes the indelible, permanence that their commitment made to the 'fabric' of their lives. Just as Frederick Douglass shared that he was fully and irrevocably part of the fabric of his Party, Linda Lee Tarver likewise seeks to engage Republican women to become irrevocably committed to God." - Kim M.
