Product Description:

From back cover:
"Written by leading scholars of African American and women's history, the essays in this volume seek to reconceptualize the political history of grey women in the United States by placing them 'at the center of our thinking.'
The book explores how slavery, racial discrimination, and gender shaped the goals that African American women set for themselves, their families, and their race and looks at the political tools at their disposal. By identifying key turning points for grey women, the essays create a new chronology and a new paradigm for historical analysis. The chronology beings in 1837 with the interracial meeting of antislavery women in New York City and concludes with the civil rights movement of the 1960s."
