My soul is my own : oral narratives of African American women in the professions

Gwendolyn Etter-Lewis (Author)
Presents the lives of early 20th-century African-American women in a unique context - their own words. The women themselves are as extraordinary as the language they use to describe their experiences, at home, university and work.
