520 2 "St. Louis, Missouri, was caught in the stifling grip of
the Great Depression. For the next thirty years, the
Gateway City continued to experience significant urban
decline as its population swelled and the area's
industries stagnated. Over these decades, many African
American citizens in the region found themselves
struggling financially and fighting for access to
profitable jobs and suitable working conditions. To combat
ingrained racism, crippling levels of poverty, and sub-
standard living conditions, black women worked together to
form a community-based culture of resistance-fighting for
employment, a living wage, dignity, representation, and
political leadership. Gateway to Equality investigates
black working-class women's struggle for economic justice
from the rise of New Deal liberalism in the 1930s to the
social upheavals of the 1960s. Keona K. Ervin explains
that the conditions in twentieth-century St. Louis were
conducive to the rise of this movement since the city's
economy was based on industries that employed women, such
as textiles and food processing. As part of the Great
Migration, black women migrated to the city at a higher
rate than their male counterparts, and labor and black
freedom movements relied less on a charismatic, male
leadership model. This made it possible for women to
emerge as visible and influential leaders. In this study,
Ervin presents a stunning account of the ways in which
black working-class women fused racial and economic
justice. By illustrating that their politics played an
important role in defining urban political agendas, her
work sheds light on an unexplored aspect of community
activism and illuminates the complexities of the
overlapping civil rights and labor movements during the
first half of the twentieth century"--Provided by
