Description
Mae Reeves was a trailblazing fashion designer and civil rights icon who left her mark on the world. Her story begins with a dream to create one-of-a-kind hats, but she faced challenges as a Black female designer in a segregated society.
Undeterred, Mae made a way by studying at the Chicago School of Millinery and eventually becoming the first Black woman to own a business on South Street in Philadelphia. Her designs were sought after by many, including famous women of the time.
This picture book biography tells the inspiring true story of Mae Reeves, written in collaboration with the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. With its vibrant illustrations and engaging narrative, it's a great introduction to this determined trailblazer.
