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

4.0

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.
