"In this book, Sheena Harris contends that individual black, female leadership continues to be a blind spot in much scholarly historical literature, and Margaret Murray Washington, the third wife of Booker T.

Washington lays the groundwork for understanding the rising educated class of black women and the early civil rights movement"--
