"This book rewrites the history of the Civil Rights movement from the standpoint of African-American women. Conceptually, this project joins a recent wave of scholarship in social movements that is beginning to address the intersections of race, class, gender and social movements. Substantively, this book contributes a beautiful overview of black women's long history of resistance to race and gender oppression in the United States...No one has ever undertaken such an ambitious project with respect to black women's activism."--Verta Taylor, Ohio State University
