Great Women In the Struggle (Book of Black Heroes, Volume 2)

Queen Nzingha, Sojourner Truth, Angela Davis, Alice Walker, Florence Griffith Joyner, Ida B. Wells, Oprah Winfrey, Bessie Coleman. These are just a few of the remarkable women whose inspiring stories are told in this book. Most of these women have received little or no recognition for the important contributions they have made. Their stories and accomplishments have been left out of most history books. Now you can read about more than eighty black women who have made a difference - as freedom fighters, educators, writers, artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, lawyers, and sciantists. Some are from the past, and some are from today, but all of them have overcome great obstacles and made significant achievements.
