Summary
"DeCosta-Willis makes it possible to look back in a new way into the character of Wells and, more than that, into the daily life of African Americans a century ago." - Chicago Tribune "A unique look at the life of an independent, unmarried African-American woman coping with financial hardships, romantic entanglements, sexism and racism.
