Dr. Anna Pauline "Pauli" Murray (1910-1985) was a trailblazing social activist, writer, lawyer, civil rights organizer, and campaigner for gender rights. In the 1930s and 1940s, she was active in radical left-wing political groups and helped innovate nonviolent protest strategies against segregation that would become iconic in later decades, and in the 1960s, she cofounded the National Organization for Women (NOW). In addition, Murray became the first African American to receive a Yale law doctorate and the first black woman to be ordained an Episcopal priest. Yet, behind her great public successes, Murray battled many personal demons, including bouts of poor physical and mental health, conflicts over her gender and sexual identities, family traumas, and financial difficulties. In this intimate biography, Troy Saxby provides the most comprehensive account of Murray's inner life to date, revealing her struggles in poignant detail and deepening our understanding and admiration of her numerous achievements in the face of pronounced racism, homophobia, transphobia, and political persecution"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Murray, Pauli, $d 1910-1985. 610 20 $a Episcopal Church $z United States $x Clergy $v Biography. 610 20 $a National Organization for Women. 600 17 $a Murray, Pauli, $d 1910-1985. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00011564 610 27 $a Episcopal Church. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00533119 610 27 $a National Organization for Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00516029 650 0 $a African American women $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American women civil rights workers $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American intellectuals $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American lawyers $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American feminists $v Biography. 650 7 $a African American feminists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01201928 650 7 $a African American intellectuals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799204 650 7 $a African American lawyers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799218 650 7 $a African American women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799438 650 7 $a African American women civil rights workers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799481 650 7 $a Clergy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864014 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015435.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EBA4579EB05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
