520    In this groundbreaking and absorbing book, credit finally 
       goes where credit is due - to the bold women who were 
       crucial to the success of the civil rights movement. From 
       the Montgomery bus boycott to the lunch counter sit-ins to
       the Freedom Rides, [the author] tells the long-overlooked 
       story of the extraordinary women who were among the most 
       fearless, resourceful, and tenacious leaders of the civil 
       rights movement. [This book] includes portraits of more 
       than sixty women - many until now forgotten and some never
       before written about - from the key figures (Ida B. Wells,
       Eleanor Roosevelt, Ella Baker, and Septima Clark, among 
       others) to some of the smaller players who represent the 
       hundreds of women who each came forth to do her own small 
       part and who together ultimately formed the mass movements
       that made the difference. Freedom's Daughters puts a human
       face on the civil rights struggle - and shows that that 
       face was often female. -Back cover.
