Bibliography
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Description
Essays on African American women from 1730 with selections representing diverse areas of achievement including business, civil rights, the arts, education, scholarship, and government. Biographical essays of the most famous African American women--Harriet Tubman, Mary McLeod Bethune--appear alongside those of modern black women in their prime: historian Nell Painter, writer Alice Walker, and actress Halle Berry. Narrative biographical essays, edited by noted scholar Jessie Carney Smith, discuss each woman's significant achievements and the public response to those achievements. Many entries contain personal statements from the subjects provided exclusively for this 3 volume series, and all provide biographical data and a list of sources for additional study.
