When Black Texas Women: 150 Years of Trial and Triumph was
published in 1995, it was acclaimed as the first comprehensive
history of black women's struggles and achievements. This companion
volume contains the original source materials that Ruthe Winegarten
uncovered during her extensive research.
Like a time capsule of black women's history, A Sourcebook
includes petitions from free women of color, lawsuits, slave
testimonies, wills, plantation journals, club minutes,
autobiographies, ads, congressional reports, contracts, prison
records, college catalogues, newspaper clippings, protest letters,
and much more.
In addition to the documents, a biographical section highlights
the lives of women from various walks of life. The book concludes
with a timeline that begins in 1777 and reaches to 1992. This
wealth of original material will be a treasure trove for scholars
and general readers interested in the emerging field of black
women's history.
