    Waitin' all my life for this book
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2022*

Everywhere we go and everywhere we look, we are surrounded by males in history. All my life I search and search and search in vain for signs of women in history or social movements. Sure, we all know about women like Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman. But do we all know about women like Joann Robinson? There probably wouldn't even have been a Montgomery bus boycott, which helped Dr. Martin Luther King, rise to fame if it wouldn't have been for Ms. Robinson and the Women's Political Council. Those women were the unsung heroines of that movement and this book teaches you a little about it. At first I was struggling with the author's style of jumping around sometimes and then I read the book twice. You learn about so many women in the civil rights movements and also the abolitionist movement. You learn about black and also white women. You learn about the historical dynamics that slavery and racism caused between black and white women. You'll hear about women like Pauli Murray or Ida B Wells and other women who desegregated public spaces way before Rosa Parks did it. I have learned about so many women (and there is some info about men as it intersects with the topics) and it helped me springboard into other readings by or about them. I highly recommend this book! Enjoy.

    Uplifting and Powerful History of Women Leaders
  

*by H***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2010*

This is one of the better books that I have read on the Civil Rights movement in the United States. The perspective taken is that of the heretofore briefly mentioned female contributions and leadership to the cause. One hears much of Dr. King and others, this book revealed the blatant sexism with which the women had to contend in order to achieve their goals. It was a surprise to learn that so many of the most esteemed male leaders were so unenlightened when it came to women's participation in the movement. Just as African Americans were fighting the fight of their lives to achieve equality,the women of the movement were fighting a battle upon 2 fronts - racism and sexism.It is remarkable to read the descriptions of the various women, their competency is unquestioned, without them much less would have been achieved. One is left with the feeling of sadness that so much brilliance and talent was put-down and brushed aside by the male members of the Civil Rights Movement. These women should have been every bit as well known as Abernathy, King and the rest. There are many mentions of women who were crucial to the movement who have receded into the mists of time. This is a shame.This is one of the very best books that I have read of the struggles and achievements of the Civil Rights movement. I recommend this book most highly to all. In particular to those interested in the struggles inherent in the fight for not only the rights of African-Americans, but also for the rights of all women, everywhere.

*by C***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2012*

This is a great book.  This is especially valuable for a white male to consume.  The text is very reasonably written, for our enjoyment.  This author takes us into the world of struggle of the Negro woman.  We discover the power and support of the Negro woman.  We experience her development and watch her lead her race up and into the Civil Rights Act.  We feel her quiet yet feminine determined development form the beginnings of the American woman's rights movement.  This text very arguably allows me to experience an unsaid belief, no truth, that possibly the Negro woman is at least fifty percent responsible for the equality consciousness of her race.  Her activity and determination has enlightened others to realize the equal concepts of all races.  The Negro woman's demographic is the greatest participant forwarding the woman's movement today.  Without the courage of the Negro woman, the white male (me), would still be the superior in the social, economic(?) and political(?) American free world.  I will reread this again and never release it from my ownership.ChangeItOrDrownItB 36 Ears
