Righteous Discontent: The Women’s Movement in the Black Baptist Church, 1880–1920
Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham
This is the first full account of the crucial role of black women in making the church a powerful institution for social and political change in the black community. From 1880–1920, the black church served as the most effective vehicle by which men and women alike, pushed down by racism and poverty, rallied against emotional and physical defeat.
