  These black women wrote, it seems, about almost everything, from the most intensely personal to the broadly political, sometimes prophetically. For example, Mary Church Terrell focused not only on women’s suffrage but also the convict lease system: “Those who need laborers for their farms, saw mills, brick yards, turpentine distilleries, coal or phosphate mines, or who have large contracts of various kinds, lease the misdemeanants from the county or State, which sells them to the highest bidder with merciless disregard of the fact that they are human beings, and practically gives the lessee the power of life and death over the unfortunate man or woman thus raffled off.” Her scathing report exemplifies why the government, investigators, and journalists play an important role in protecting human rights even after humanitarian laws are passed. Comparisons can be drawn between Terrell’s work and the work of those today who fight mass incarceration. Fighting a different but equally important battle, Williams demanded recognition for women’s intellectual labor: “are we not justified in a feeling of desperation against that peculiar form of Americanism that shows respect for our women as servants and contempt for them when they become women of culture?”

  We offer a separate section on “Education and Social Reform” to collect together essays and speeches that offer wide-ranging thoughts about the nation, race prejudice, and the role of education in envisioning a less violent and divisive future. This section includes speeches from the remarkable Fanny M. Jackson Coppin on industrial education for women. Education as a means of black advancement was Coppin’s greatest concern. Her goal was to see black individuals able freely to seek the educations that best suited them. To a greater degree than her more scholarly contemporaries, Coppin strikes a balance in her addresses between higher-minded, religious discourse and practical steps that can be taken to improve the lives of African American women. Josephine J. Turpin Washington, in “Needs of Our Newspapers,” offers a constructive critique of the black press, which allowed her and so many of the other voices in this anthology to be heard, demanding better quality and more originality. Her sweeping argument takes into account economics, aesthetics, politics, and history. Washington’s work was impressively analytical. She was endlessly determined to see the standing of the women and men of the race improve.

  Notable in Julia Caldwell-Frazier’s work is an interest in Darwin. She cites his theory of evolution as evidence of the inevitability of black progress: “According to the ‘survival of the fittest,’ the Negro can look cheerfully and hopefully to the future. . . . The physical, mental, moral, and esthetic faculties of the race have been ‘weighed in the balance and not found wanting.’” Gertrude Bustill Mossell writes on the contributions of African Americans in musical culture, in poetry, and in political activism, giving pride of place among her peers to the formidable champion of anti-lynching laws: “Perhaps the greatest work of philanthropy yet accomplished by any woman of the race is that undertaken and so successfully carried out at the present hour by Miss Ida B. Wells.”

  We end this section with the fiery and unforgettable work of Wells in waking the nation to this scourge of lynching. Emphasized here too is that Wells was supported in her work by other women who promoted her, hosted her, and comforted her. Mossell describes Wells visiting Frances Harper in Philadelphia and learning that her writings had provoked a violent response. “What was her consternation to find letters pouring in upon her from friends and correspondents at Memphis warning her not to return to her office on pain of being lynched. She was informed that her newspaper plant had been destroyed and the two male editors had been forced to flee for their lives.” Readers then and now, P. Gabrielle Foreman writes, “were fascinated with the details of authors’ lives . . . [and] the involving trajectory of an increasingly documented race history.”6

  Finally, “Women Memorializing Women” offers works at the end of the century that take stock of the contributions of African American women writers. Lucy Wilmot Smith’s “Women as Journalists: Portraits and Sketches of a Few of the Women Journalists of the Race” anticipates the work of this anthology, and so many that proceeded it, insisting that the work of women writers be read, remembered, and addressed. S. Elizabeth Frazier, in “Some Afro-American Women of Mark,” a riff on Rev. William Simmons’s Men of Mark (1887) lauds Fanny Jackson Coppin with a tinge of sadness: “Had she been other than an American colored woman, or had she not had to struggle against the characteristic conservatism of the Society of Friends, she would have been one of the most famous of American’s school reform instructors. As it is she works on modestly, indeed, too self-deprecating; eminent, but without notoriety.” Frazier’s touching appreciation of her intellectual sister’s uphill battle for recognition provokes us to read, remember, and re-acknowledge the contributions of each of these writers whose works are gathered together in this collection.

  Consider too the women never given the opportunity to seek literacy and education. What accomplishments, what writings remain of the countless black women who never became members of the publishing elite? “Historical scholarship on black women especially has yet to map the broad contours of their political and social thought in any detail,” writes Mia Bay, “or to examine their distinctive intellectual tradition.”7 The range of works by the fifty-two writers featured here offers readers a glimpse of how impressively expansive the contours of the remarkably vibrant and dynamic African American woman’s intellectual tradition are.
