Focusing on the unsung and virtually "invisible" Black women important to the civil rights movement, Sisters in Struggle rethinks, challenges and broadens traditional concepts of leadership, derived from male leadership models. Based on eight years of research, oral narratives, life histories and extensive personal interviews conducted with over 100 movement activists of the 1960s, Bernice McNair Barnett provides a timely analysis of race, gender and class in social movement leadership. Excluded from patricentric civil rights scholarship and Eurocentric feminist scholarship, Black women were seldom recognized as leaders, yet they often were the ones who initiated protest, formulated strategies and tactics and mobilized other resources necessary for successful protest. Their multidimensional leadership roles and personal-political struggles reveal common themes in Black women's diverse life histories and activism during the civil rights movements.

“Elly Griffiths draws us all the way back to prehistoric times . . . Highly atmospheric.” — New York Times Book Review   The service of the Outcast Dead is held annually in Norwich commemorating the bodies in the paupers’ graves. This year’s proceedings hold special interest for forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway, who has just unearthed the notorious Mother Hook, hanged in 1867 at Norwich Castle for killing multiple children. Now Ruth is reluctantly starring in a TV special, working alongside the alluring historian Dr. Frank Barker. Nearby, DCI Harry Nelson is investigating the case of three children found dead in their home when another child is abducted. A kidnapper dubbed the Childminder claims responsibility, but is the Childminder behind the deaths too? The team races to find out — and after a child close to everyone involved disappears, the stakes couldn’t be higher.   “An uncommon, down-to-earth heroine whose acute insight, wry humor, and depth of feeling make her a thoroughly engaging companion.” — Erin Hart, Agatha and Anthony Award–nominated author of Haunted Ground and Lake of Sorrows   Elly Griffiths’s Ruth Galloway novels have been praised as “gripping” (Louise Penny), “highly atmospheric,” (New York Times Book Review), and “must-reads for fans of crime fiction” (Associated Press). She is the winner of the 2010 Mary Higgins Clark Award.
