An illuminating biography of the bold, principled, and fiercely
independent woman who defied convention to make her own mark on the
world. Eslanda "Essie" Cardozo Goode Robeson lived a colorful and
amazing life. Her career and commitments took her many places:
colonial Africa in 1936, the front lines of the Spanish Civil War,
the founding meeting of the United Nations, Nazi-occupied Berlin,
Stalin's Russia, and China two months after Mao's revolution. She
was a woman of unusual accomplishment-an anthropologist, a prolific
journalist, a tireless advocate of women's rights, an outspoken
anti-colonial and antiracist activist, and an internationally
sought-after speaker. Yet historians for the most part have
confined Essie to the role of Mrs. Paul Robeson, a wife hidden in
the large shadow cast by her famous husband. In this masterful
book, biographer Barbara Ransby refocuses attention on Essie, one
of the most important and fascinating Black women of the twentieth
century.
