Sister Power: How Phenomenal Black Women are Rising to the Top Book

Activist and teacher Patricia Reid-Merrit considers common links among 45 stellar African American women leaders in such spheres as business, publishing, politics, and religion. Her engaging book delves into the experiences and environments that shaped them; how their commitment to community service was fostered; and what combination of talent, drive, and nerve carried them to the top. Like the quotes that showcase their opinions, these women are substantial, inspiring, and often gratifyingly blunt. Their ranks include civil rights activists such as the amazing Unita Blackwell; Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney; Marcia Ann Gillespie, editor-in-chief of Ms.; and Reverend Willie Barrow, who expanded the scope of PUSH beyond its legacy as Jesse Jackson's brainchild.Read More
