520    [The author] marched at major civil rights rallies, sat 
       through tense White House meetings, and witnessed every 
       significant victory in the struggle for racial equality. 
       Yet as the sole woman among powerful, charismatic men, and
       as someone whose personal ambition was always secondary to
       her passion for her cause, she has received little 
       mainstream recognition ... In [this] memoir, [she] 
       reflects on a life of service and leadership.--Jacket.
