Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
This two-volume encyclopedia contains more than 600 entries describing the lives of prominent African American women. Photos. (Sept).
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Library Journal
Originally released in a much more expensive hardcover edition (LJ 2/15/93), this is an extremely useful guide to both the history and current status of African American women. The majority of the entries are biographical; organizations, movements, and the place of black women in the arts, literature, and various professions are also thoroughly discussed.
