Gender and Jim Crow Women and the Politics of White Supremacy in North Carolina, 1896-1920

"Gilmore sets out . . . to reinterpret turn-of-the-century southern politics from the perspective of middle-class black women activists. She succeeds brilliantly. The book not only reclaims the long-buried stories of a group of richly compelling characters; it also redefines what should count as 'politics' in southern history."American Historical Review
