Description

African American Women in the Struggle for the Vote, 1850-1920 by Rosalyn Terborg-Penn is a groundbreaking work that sheds light on the crucial role African American women played in the fight for suffrage. With meticulous attention to detail, Terborg-Penn examines the stories of black suffragist stalwarts and their struggles against racism and sexism. This comprehensive analysis reveals how African American women resisted efforts to disenfranchise them and ultimately achieved full citizenship through their active participation in the U.S. women's suffrage movement. A valuable resource for understanding a pivotal moment in African American history, this book provides a theoretical and practical framework for new perspectives on women's history. Ideal for academic study or anyone interested in the history of social activism, Terborg-Penn's work offers a powerful indictment of white suffrage activists who failed to recognize the intersectionality of racism and sexism.
