520    "According to conventional wisdom, American women's 
       campaign for the vote began with the Seneca Falls 
       convention of 1848 and ended with the ratification of the 
       Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. The movement was led by 
       storied figures such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan 
       B. Anthony. But this women's movement was an 
       overwhelmingly white one, and it secured the 
       constitutional right to vote for white women, not for all 
       women. In Vanguard, acclaimed historian Martha Jones 
       offers a sweeping history of African American women's 
       political lives in America, recounting how they fought for,
       won, and used the right to the ballot and how they fought 
       against both racism and sexism. From 1830s Boston to the 
       passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 and beyond to 
       Shirley Chisholm, Stacey Abrams, and Kamala Harris, Jones 
       excavates the lives and work of Black women who, although 
       in many cases suffragists, were never single-issue 
       activists. She recounts the lives of Maria Stewart, the 
       first American woman to speak about politics before a 
       mixed audience of men and women; African Methodist 
       Episcopal preacher Jarena Lee; Reconstruction-era advocate
       for female suffrage Frances Ellen Watkins Harper; Boston 
       abolitionist, religious leader, and women's club organizer
       Eliza Ann Gardner; and other hidden figures who were 
       pioneers for both gender and racial equality. Revealing 
       the ways Black women remained independent in their ideas 
       and their organization, Jones shows how Black women were 
       again and again the American vanguard of women's rights, 
       setting the pace in the quest for justice and collective 
       liberation. In the twenty-first century, Black women's 
       power at the polls and in politics is evident. Vanguard 
       reveals that this power is not at all new, but is instead 
       the culmination of two centuries of dramatic struggle"--
