"The purpose of this volume, therefore, is multi-faceted: it serves the young Black female who needs inspiring; it serves the student who needs an accurate account of American history; it serves educational equity, for it shows that these women have been omitted from school curricular materials; it serves the cause of civil rights, for it pays tribute to the Black woman who is the object of double jeopardy - racism and sexism."-- Introduction.
