- Description
- Dancer Janet Collins, born in New Orleans in 1917 and raised in Los Angeles, soared high over the color line as the first African-American prima ballerina at the Metropolitan Opera. Collins became a unique concert dance soloist as well as a black trailblazer in the white world of classical ballet. During her career, Collins endured an era in which racial bias prevailed, and subsequently prevented her from appearing in the South. Nonetheless, her brilliant performances transformed the way black dancers were viewed in ballet. The book begins with an unfinished memoir written by Collins in which she gives a captivating account of her childhood and young adult years, including her rejection by the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. Dance scholar Yael Tamar Lewin then picks up the thread of Collins's story.

- Description
- The national narrative on Parks is that of a reluctant champion of civil rights whose single action was refusing to move to the back of the bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955. Theoharis offers a complex portrait of a forceful, determined woman who had long been active before the boycott she inspired and who had an even longer career in civil rights afterward. The image of a quiet seamstress minimizes Parks’ stature as an activist and obscures continued injustice and inequality. Theoharis chronicles Parks’ personal journey to resistance, her work in the South challenging segregation and promoting voter registration, and her continued efforts in Detroit to address racial restrictions that had ostensibly been resolved by civil rights legislation. Theoharis details the cost of the bus boycott to Parks and her family, including decades of death threats: her strong admiration for radical black activists: and the controversies that continue to surround the disposition of her archival material as factions fight to claim rights to her iconic image.

- Description
- This account recalls firsthand the upheaval surrounding court-ordered busing in the early 1970s to achieve school integration. Like many students at the vanguard of this great social experiment, sixth-grader Clara Silverstein was spit on, tripped, and shoved by her new schoolmates. At other times she was shunned altogether. In the conventional imagery of the civil rights era, someone in Silverstein's situation would be black. She was white, however—one of the few white students in her entire school. Her story, woven with historical details, confronts us with powerful questions about race and the use of our schools to engineer social change.

- Description
- In 1994 Nelson Mandela requested that France release Sara Baartman's remains. The burial in South Africa was a national event. Two hundred years earlier the young Saartjie Baartman had been persuaded by a Dutch man and an English doctor in Cape Town to go with them to England to seek fame and fortune for all three. The fame and the fortune was to come from Saartjie's body - 'Hottentot' women were figures of exotic excess - and the three hatched a plan for Saartjie to perform in shows which would be extravaganzas of titillation. Saartjie took London by storm. Everyone, from the working classes to the aristocracy, flocked to see her: cartoons, articles and verses were penned about her, the bustle came into fashion just as she rose to fame and women tried to emulate her large posterior. But it was only some years later, when Saartjie was living a miserable life in Paris, that she finally realised that her vision of herself as a free woman, a celebrity, a successful showgirl, was only part of the truth, and that her sexuality and her race had indeed been exploited.

- Mamie Eisenhower was a president's wife who seemed to most Americans like the friend next door, but has stood in the shadows of first ladies who followed. Yet she accomplished more than even her own contemporaries noticed, and her popularity not only enhanced her husband's presidency but also put a distinctive stamp on the role of first lady. This biography of Mamie Eisenhower draws on sources in the Eisenhower Library. Holt places her in the context of her time, showing that she was a perfect first lady for the fifties--a stylish grandmother who doted on her family and considered her job to be creating a home life that eased her husband's work tensions. Holt recaptures the winning personality that made Mrs. Eisenhower an important part of both her husband's success and her cultural milieu, and relates how her experience as an army wife--with overseas postings, acquaintance with heads of state, and experience as an accomplished hostess--better prepared her for the White House. Holt reveals that there was much more to Mamie Eisenhower than the housewife she described herself as, showing us instead a resourceful first lady who ran the executive mansion like an army sergeant, relished charity work, and promoted cultural events. .As an agent for change, Mamie Eisenhower not only entertained foreign dignitaries but also invited African Americans to the White House when tensions over civil rights were mounting.

- Schiff has put together a collective biography of nine outstanding American women of the 19th and 20th century. The more celebrated are Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862–1931), an African-American journalist who brought the horrors of lynching to public attention: Mother Jones (c. 1837–1930), an Irish immigrant and lifelong crusader for workers' rights: and Frances Perkins (1882–1965), the first woman Cabinet member, appointed by president Roosevelt. Schiff also illuminates less renowned but highly influential figures, including Alice Hamilton (1869–1970) a physician and pioneer in calling attention to the dangers of industrial poisons, and Septima Poinsette Clark (1898–1987), child of a former slave, who became a teacher and tireless advocate for racial equality. Several of the subjects are still alive, like Dolores Huerta, cofounder with César Chávez of the United Farm Workers, and Gretchen Buchenholz, who established the Association to Benefit Children.

- Description
- Displayed on European stages from 1810 to 1815 as the Hottentot Venus, Sara Baartman was one of the most famous women of her day. She was seen by Westerners as alluring and primitive, a reflection of their fears and suppressed desires. Based on research and interviews that span three continents, Sara Baartman and the Hottentot Venus tells the entwined histories of an illusive life and a famous icon. The book raises questions about the possibilities and limits of biography for understanding those who live between and among different cultures. In reconstructing Baartman's life, the book traverses the South African frontier and its genocidal violence, cosmopolitan Cape Town, the ending of the slave trade, the Industrial Revolution, the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, London and Parisian high society, and the rise of racial science. The authors explore the enduring impact of the Hottentot Venus on ideas about women, race, and sexuality. The book concludes with the politics involved in returning Baartman's remains to her home country, and connects Baartman's story to her descendants in nineteenth- and twentieth-century South Africa.
