520    In a highly original study of women, race, and class, 
       Stephanie J. Shaw takes us into the inner world of black 
       professional women during the Jim Crow era. This is a 
       story of struggle and empowerment, of the strength of a 
       group of women who worked against daunting odds to improve
       the world for themselves and their people. Shaw's 
       remarkable research into the lives of social workers, 
       librarians, nurses, and teachers from the 1870s through 
       the 1950s allows us to hear these women's voices for the 
       first time. The women tell us, in their own words, about 
       their families, their values, their expectations. We learn
       of the forces and factors that made them exceptional, and 
       of the choices and commitments that made them leaders in 
       their communities. 
520 8  What a Woman Ought to Be and to Do brings to life a world 
       in which African-American families, communities, and 
       schools worked to encourage the self-confidence, 
       individual initiative, and social responsibility of girls.
       Shaw shows us how, in a society that denied black women 
       full professional status, these girls embraced and in turn
       defined an ideal of "socially responsible individualism" 
       that balanced private and public sphere responsibilities. 
       A collective portrait of character shaped in the toughest 
       circumstances, this book is more than a study of the 
       socialization of these women as children and the 
       organization of their work as adults. It is also a study 
       of leadership - of how African American communities gave 
       their daughters the power to succeed in and change a 
       hostile world.
