Pauli Murray And Caroline Ware Forty Years of Letters in Black And White

Caroline Ware (1899-1990), a white historian, was a leading consumer advocate and a political activist. Pauli Murray (1910-1985), was an African American student of Ware's at Howard University who went on to become a labor lawyer, a university professor, and the first black woman to be ordained an Episcopal priest. The women shared a life-long friendship, and their forty-year correspondence ranges widely over issues of race, politics, international affairs, and McCarthyism. The letters, products of high intelligence and a gift for writing, reveal portraits of their authors as well as the workings of an unusual female friendship. They also provide a wonderful channel into the social and political thought of the times, particularly regarding civil rights and women's rights.Scott, Anne Firor is the author of 'Pauli Murray And Caroline Ware Forty Years of Letters in Black And White', published 2006 under ISBN 9780807830550 and ISBN 0807830550.
