Description
“For African American women, the fight for the right to vote was only one battle. An eye-opening book that tells the important, overlooked story of black women as a force in the suffrage movement–when fellow suffragists did not accept them as equal partners in the struggle.
This important book includes women like Mary Church Terrell, a founder of the National Association of Colored Women and of the NAACP; educator-activist Anna Julia Cooper who championed women getting the vote and a college education; and the crusading journalist Ida B. Wells, a leader in both the suffrage and anti-lynching movements.” – publisher’23Pen
