[YL] women's history

[Beth Daniels]

Hi Matt,
  Many years ago, Ms. Magazine ran a monthly series called "Lost Women." These were profiles of women whose historical contributions had been "lost" over the years and included (as I recall) Latina and African American women, as well as women of other races/ethnicities. There is a great book called "When and Where I Enter: The Impact of Black Women on Race and Sex in America", by Paula Giddings (1984), which provides an excellent look at African American women in history. I hope these resources are helpful.
