Review of 'Lifting as We Climb' on 'GoodReads'

4 stars

This is a good introduction to how Black women have helped fight for the right to vote and how others - mainly white women - have discriminated against them. It's not a terribly indepth book, and I especially wish it provided more information on just the discrimination that Black women continued to face after the 19th Amendment and their work to pass the Civil Rights Act. But otherwise, I learned a lot.
