In Pursuit of Knowledge: Black Women and Educational Activism in Antebellum America by Kabria Baumgartner

4.0

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.
