Mary McLeod Bethune, Shirley Chisholm, Barbara Jordan and Lena Horne: all prominent black women who made tremendous
contributions to society in the fields of politics, education and the arts, and all members of the
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority (DST). In Search of Sisterhood tells the story of DST, the largest black women’s
organization in the United States.
Founded at a time when liberal arts education was widely seen as futile, dangerous, or impractical for blacks,
especially women, DST was formed to bring women together as sisters and also to address the divisive, often
class-related issues confronting black women in our society. The tension between these goals makes Delta Sigma Theta
a fascinating microcosm of the struggles of black women and their organizations throughout American history.
Paula J. Giddings, November 16, 1947 is an African-American writer, historian, and civil rights activist.

A detailed biography of Ida Wells. Ida was a black journalist who crusaded against lynching. When she was forced to flee the south, she moved to New York and finally Chicago. Despite all she encountered she remained not only a spokesman against lynching, but a vocal support of suffrage, which considering the reception she got from white women was amazing. Of course, being female, she got little credit for what she did.

This a groundbreaking volume of African American women--of all women--sexism and racism. Brilliant and well-reseached. But not pedantic. Giddings style of writing is down to earth, humorous, easy to follow. This is a must have for any complete library of history, women or feminism.
