Description

Women of all colors have shaped families, communities, institutions, and societies during history, but only in contemporary decades have their contributions been well known, described, and celebrated. This book presents the first comprehensive history of black Texas women, a prior to now neglected group whose 150 years of continued struggle and a few successes against the oppression of racism and sexism deserve to be better known and understood.

Beginning with slave and free women of color throughout the Texas colonial period and concluding with latest women who serve within the Texas legislature and the US Congress, Ruthe Winegarten organizes her history both chronologically and topically. Her narrative sparkles with the life stories of individual women and their contributions to the work force, education, religion, the club movement, community building, politics, civil rights, and culture. The product of extensive archival and oral research and illustrated with over 200 photographs, this groundbreaking work can be equally appealing to general readers and to scholars of women’s history, black history, American studies, and Texas history.
