Her childhood in 19th-century Virginia helping her mother with her laundry service opened her eyes to the overwhelming discrepancy between the Black residents and her mother's affluent white clients. She vowed to not only secure the same kind of home and finery for herself, but she would also help others in her community achieve the same. With her single-minded determination, Maggie buckled down and went from schoolteacher to secretary-treasurer of the Independent Order of St. Luke, founder of a newspaper, a bank, and a department store where Black customers were treated with respect. With the help of influential friends like W.E.B. DuBois and Mary McLeod, she revolutionized Richmond in ways that are still felt today. Now, her rich, full story is revealed in this stirring and intimate novel. 600 10 $a Walker, Maggie Lena, $d 1864-1934 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American women $z Richmond $z Richmond $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Minority businesswomen $z Richmond $z Richmond $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Richmond (Va.) $x History $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Virginia $x Social conditions $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Edwards, Janina, $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20231102013548.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7F9204D0495811EE9228709642ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
