Political Pioneer of the Press - Ida B. Wells-Barnett and Her Transnational Crusade for Social Justice

Summary

Until the 1970s, Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862–1931)—like so many prominent women in journalism and politics—was a forgotten figure in American culture. This edited volume takes a fresh look at this daring African-American woman who tirelessly advocated for the rights of women, minorities, and members of the working class.
