- Summary
- White House correspondent April Ryan presents a vital look at women of different ages and backgrounds who devote their lives to making the world a better place, even if that means stepping out of their "place."
- From the inception of the nation to the present day, Black women have transformed their pain into progress and have been at the front lines of America's political, social, and economic struggles. Combining profiles and in-depth interviews with influential movers and shakers, Ryan explores the challenges Black women endure and shares the lessons they've learned. She also chronicles the hurdles she faced in her own journey to becoming a White House correspondent. -- adapted from jacket
