Toward An Intellectual History Of Black Women (The John Hope Franklin Series In African American History And Culture)

This collection of essays by fifteen scholars of history and literature establishes black women's places in intellectual history by engaging the work of writers, educators, activists, religious leaders, and social reformers in the United States, Africa, and the Caribbean.
