Freedom's Daughters includes portraits of more than sixty womenmany until now forgotten and some never before written aboutfrom key figures like Ida B. Wells, Eleanor Roosevelt, Ella Baker, and Septima Clark to some of the smaller players who represent the hundreds of women who each came forth to do her own small part and who together ultimately formed the mass movements that made the difference.
