The scholarly essays in this volume indicate "that women had a multiplicity of roles in the civil rights movement and that not all experienced it in the same way." Articles range from surveys of black women's roles to those examining the struggles of specific groups of women during events such as the Montgomery bus boycott. Several papers highlight individual achievements, e.g., Fannie Lou Hamer or Septima P. Clark. Many works on the history of the Civil Rights movement have appeared recently, including Taylor Branch's Pulitzer Prize-winning Parting the Waters: America in the King Years 1954-63 (LJ 1/89) and Robert Weisbrot's Freedom Bound: A History of America's Civil Rights Movement (Norton, 1990). However, the papers here represent the first scholarly study focused on black women . This important work belongs in all academic and large public libraries. --Cindy Faries, Pennsylvania State Univ.
