A history of Black female teachers and the pursuit of education between 1830 and 1860. Focuses more on personal lives and stories, as this subject in history would be forced to, but gives a great overview and in-depth discussion on the court cases and desegregation battles fought by African Americans and women in particular to have the right to an education.

Great contribution to the history of Black women's activism and African American education activism in the 19th century. Pairs well with Anna Mae Duane's "Educated for Freedom" in relating the stories of dozens of individual women who fought to educate and be educated in a complicated, erratic, "hyperlocal" climate across different northeastern communities.
