| Synopsis: |
In popular culture, academic research and public consciousness, African American women are often defined by their presumed poverty or lack of education. This work examines the experiences of a group of such women who, on the contrary, worked as white-collar professionals, retired in considerable comfort, and remain actively involved in their respective communities. The voices of these women offer an understanding of the impact of social systems on individual lives, and of how the legacies bequeathed to the women by their families, teachers, churches and communities endowed them with the tools needed for survival and success in spite of prejudice and other stumbling blocks along the way. |
