Thank you to Perseus Books and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy!

That Black women are an important voting block in the United States is a fact widely touted by many newspapers, that Black women will "save" the election. But such statements ignore the huge struggles that Black women have had to fight through the generations to get the right to vote. It's a struggle that Martha S. Jones, the author of "Vanguard", knows well. Using her own family as a jumping point, Jones traces the rich legacy of Black women organizers, their deep commitment to antislavery and their persistence despite resistance from fellow white women suffragists at the time. "Vanguard" is an awe-inspiring, well researched and timely read.
