Queen Nzingha, Sojourner Truth, Frances Harper, Angela Davis, Bessie, Coleman, Lucy Laney, Oprah Winfrey - these are just a few of the remarkable women featured in Great Women in the Struggle, this updated second volume in the Book of Black Heroes series. Many historical and contemporary black women have received little or no recognition for their important contributions. Their stories and achievements have been left out of the pages of most history books. Great Women in the Struggle presents the inspiring stories of more than 80 black women in this comprehensive volume. Freedom fights, educators, writers, athletes, entrepreneurs, policy makers, scientists and more-the wide range of accomplishments celebrated here makes Great women in the Struggle a must-have resource for readers of all ages.

About the Author:
Toyomi Igus is the suthor of several books for children, including When I Was Little and The Two Mrs. Gibson.
Review:
More than 80 contemporary and historical black women are profiled in this second volume in the series. Entries range from the well known (Sojourner Truth, Oprah Winfrey, Ella Fitzgerald) to the lesser known (Jane C. Wright, Alice Coachman, Edith Sampson). The half-page sketches provide basic information, and each entry includes a black-and-white photograph and a quotation from the subject or another relevant source. A chronology of important dates in black history and a reading list are also included. The categorical arrangement includes freedom fighters, educators, writers and fine artists, performing artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, lawyers and policymakers, and scientists and healers. A fine purchase for school and public libraries. --School Library Journal
