Her newest book is a powerful addition to her paradigmshifting body of work. She shows us how a network of African American women organized for black women's rights in the 1940s and 1950s and brought their perduring political vision of race, gender, and class to social justice movements of the Cold War era."---Joanne Meyerowitz, Yale University"Dayo Gore is a relatively young historian but her brilliant scholarship has already changed how we define the American Left
