Each chapter is a biographical sketch of a black woman who has written for American newspapers or television news, and thereby changed history. Using his subject own words--from their journalistic work, oral histories, and interviews--along with public documents and personal papers, Streitmatter illuminates a group of remarkable women that history has too long ignored.
