great book on black female elected officials
Too often, authors speak of blacks getting the right to vote, when in reality, it was only black men who could do so until 1920. Similarly, to this day, all the blacks are men and all the women are white, when it comes to talk about elected officials. Finally, here is a book to break the silence. McCain Gill discusses each black women that has ever been elected to Congress by the mid-1990s. Her style is journalistic and biographical. This would be a great book for all women of color majoring in political science. Further, for sistas thinking about running for office, this is a great tool for learning about the passages that have already been cleared for you. This book may seem a little dated now. Too, I wish someone would write a book like this that mentions all women of color, not just blacks. Still, I enjoyed this book and I thank McCain Gill (a woman, unlike another review suggests)for this positive contribution to womanist studies.

This was a very good book. I would like to thank Mr. Laverne McCain Gill for writeing a book about these Congresswoman. I got to learn a lot about them from Senator Carol Moseley-Braun, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee, Cynthia McKinney and Maxine Waters and It is a great book to read as well as to keep. I Love this Book.
