Thanks to Atria Books for the copy of this book!

The true story of Maggie Lena Walker, who became secretary-treasurer of the Independent Order of St. Luke and founded a newspaper, a bank, and a department store where Black customers were treated with respect. I was totally unfamiliar with Maggie’s story and I learned so much! This woman is AMAZING and really persevered and made a difference despite a lot of opposition and loss in her life. Pick this up if you need a dose of inspiration!
