A Black Women's History of the United States by Daina Ramey Berry, Kali Nicole Gross

Fascinating. I liked learning about specific black women in US history, both famous and not. Even famous ones, like Rosa Parks, I was surprised to learn a lot of info about. I was also happy to learn about Mary Church Terrell, whose archives I am helping digitize at the Library of Congress but didn't really know all that much about her big-picture life contributions. What life was like for the average black woman during different periods of US history is also covered. It's nice to have such a personal and intimate lens to look through—most of my history classes were presidents and wars.
