Wow! Such stunning women. Thanks for bringing them to modern consciousness. I only knew of Daisy Bates. If you happen to be aware of biographical fiction that has been written about any of these women, please let me know. I'd love to feature them in my blog.

Nancy, a friend of mine has been writing a YA novel about Ida B Wells (who I mention, as preceding this mid-20th-century group), but I'm not sure when it's coming out. I'll keep you posted! I'm not aware of any biographical fiction about the rest.

Thank you for writing about these brave lives. I was a reporter--police and courts beat--and worked on the city desk during some of this time. We needed their voices. Now we need the biographies.

Thank you, Robin. I respect journalism so much. These trailblazers shouldn't be forgotten!
