Really marvelous overview/history: women's issues, Black political rights, literature. Excited to read the works referenced!

It's striking how fresh this text still seems, even as its basic argument has been foundational for numerous other quite similar studies, and its subjects--Frances Harper, Pauline Hopkins, Nella Larsen, Ida B. Wells, Anna Julia Cooper--have become canonical, at least within certain discourses.
