Summary: "This book offers an intriguing deep dive into the work of Lucy Diggs Slowe at Howard University during her tenure as a Dean at the prestigious institution. The argument that Slowe created a context in which "Black womens social rights" were centered is not only an important intervention, but one that opens up critical space for thinking about Black womanhood in the early twentieth century. Although there has been increasingly more interest in Slowes life in the past couple of decades including a biography, a handful of journal articles, and a few book chapters, her tenure as Dean of Howard and what happened among Black women students at Howard as a result of her leadership and philosophies further warrants excavation. This book provides that excavation and shows us the roots of leadership that connect, ultimately, to notable alumni such as Kamala Harris."
