Ranging from such pioneers as Elizabeth Blackwell, Mary L. Bonney,
Kate Barnard, Mariana Bracetti, and Amelia Stone Quinton, to
contemporary figures such as Iola M. Pohocsucut Hayden, Rosa Parks,
Angela Davis, and Shirley Chisholm, these 68 women have worked
passionately for civil rights in the United States. The issues that
they have championed have been as varied as the women themselves:
African Americans, Latino Americans, Native Americans, children,
lesbians and gays, adoptees, older adults, differently-abled
persons, prisoners, education, political reform, health issues and
many others. Many have been active in women's rights and suffrage
issues. A short biographical sketch of each woman is provided,
listing place of birth, schools, important events and achievements,
children, parents, siblings and individuals who had a significant
influence on her work. The second part of each entry is an
extensive bibliography of works by and about the activist. Included
are print and nonprint sources, as well as dissertations, theses,
manuscript materials and personal papers. The work is thoroughly
indexed.
