Here are lively profiles of both unsung and legendary heroines spanning three hundred years of American history. For example, find out how:
Madame C. J. Walker emerged from a heritage of slavery to develop the "Walker System" of hair care that allowed her to employ thousands, fund foundations and scholarships to help young African Americans—and become the first woman millionaire.
Bessie Blount Griffin, a physical therapist, invented a device to help the disabled feed themselves.
Angela D. Ferguson, M.D., discovered a way to detect sickle cell anemia in newborns.
Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson, the first African American woman to receive a Ph.D. in physics, became a leader in her field. She was the first African American to become president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, where she teaches today.
JIM HASKINS has written more than one hundred books for young readers, including African American Entrepreneurs (Wiley); his collaboration with Rosa Parks on her autobiography, Rosa Parks: My Story; and Black Eagles: African Americans in Aviation. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Washington Post Children's Book Guild Award for the body of his work, and the Coretta Scott King Book Award.
