520    Historian Bettye Collier-Thomas gives us an account of the
       religious faith, social and political activism, and 
       extraordinary resilience of black women during the 
       centuries of American growth and change. It shows the 
       beginnings of organized religion in slave communities and 
       how the Bible was a source of inspiration. The author 
       makes clear that while religion has been a guiding force 
       in the lives of most African Americans, for black women it
       has been essential. As co-creators of churches, women were
       a central factor in their development. This book explores 
       the ways in which women had to cope with sexism in black 
       churches, as well as racism in mostly white denominations,
       in their efforts to create missionary societies and form 
       women's conventions. It also reveals the hidden story of 
       how issues of sex and sexuality have sometimes created 
       tension and divisions within institutions.--From publisher
