Beauty Shop Politics: African American Women's Activism in the Beauty Industry (Women, Gender, and Sexuality in American History)

Winner of the 2010 Letitia Woods Brown Memorial Book Award. "A welcome relocation of the discussion of black women's beauty culture."--Women's Review of Books "A meticulously researched, well-written, and cogently argued book that contributes to scholarship that complicates historiographical boundaries between business history, labor history, history of consumer culture, women's history, and the history of African American political activism."--The Journal of American History
