This book is a groundbreaking work that sheds light on an overlooked aspect of black history - the role of black nationalist women in global politics from the early 20th century to the 1960s.

Through the stories of seven remarkable women, including Mittie Maude Lena Gordon, Celia Jane Allen, and Amy Jacques Garvey, the book reveals how these activists built alliances with people of color around the globe, agitating for the rights and liberation of black people in the United States and across the African diaspora.

With a focus on the Great Depression, World War II, and the early Cold War, this book reframes the period as one of significant black nationalist activism, highlighting the pragmatic strategies and tactics employed by these women to achieve their goals.

Whether you're a historian, activist, or simply someone interested in learning more about the unsung heroines of black history, this book is sure to inspire and educate.
