About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
“The women [profiled here] are valuable role models for women, young and old, to admire and emulate. It should be required reading for any participants in a program working with young women in Savannah and the surrounding area.”
—Otis S.Johnson, PhD., Mayor, City of Savannah
“I found it to be informational, invigorating, and inspiring. It gives me the courage to take the high road in spite of challenges.”
—Annie P. Wimbish, Ed.D, Superintendent of Schools, Hattiesburg, MS
“These compelling stories are inspiring and will serve to encourage women, especially little African-American girls, to embrace their personal power and forge forward.”
—Bernetta Bryant Anderson, President, Hudson Hill Community
The phrase “never been done before” wasn’t a roadblock for the women profiled in Savannah’s Black First Ladies, Vol. 1. This remarkable collection of short biographies recognizes African-American women in Savannah, Georgia, who were pioneers in their chosen professions. You’ll meet educators, police officers, politicians, doctors, and others who went where no one had gone before; in many cases, their professions were closed to women.
The trials and tribulations that these women endured to fulfill their calling is a true testimony of their perseverance and strength. They chose not to give up or give in, but to press forward and see their dreams come to fruition—and in so doing, helped open doors for the generations of African-American women that followed.
Deftly constructed at 120 pages, Savannah's Black First Ladies, Vol. I: The Past, Present, and Future is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Self-Help / Motivational & Inspirational category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Savannah's Black First Ladies, Vol. I meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $13.95.
Additionally, Savannah's Black First Ladies, Vol. I can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press wholesale online bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks
