In her groundbreaking book, "The Untold Story of Women of Color in the League of Women Voters," historian Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham sheds light on the remarkable work of these pioneering women. Through meticulous research and interviews, Higginbotham uncovers the ways in which women of color challenged racism and sexism within the League and beyond, while also advocating for issues that were important to their communities.
The book begins by exploring the early years of the League, when women of color were largely excluded from leadership roles. Despite facing discrimination, these women persisted, forming their own chapters and working to expand the organization's reach into minority communities.
As the League grew in prominence, women of color played an increasingly important role in its advocacy work. They fought for equal housing, education, and employment opportunities, and they worked to ensure that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was fully enforced.
The book also highlights the contributions of women of color to the League's international work. They traveled to other countries to promote democracy and voting rights, and they worked to build bridges between different cultures.
"The Untold Story of Women of Color in the League of Women Voters" is a powerful and inspiring account of the women who fought for equality and justice. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the League of Women Voters, the civil rights movement, and the struggle for women's rights.
