The first president of the National Association of Colored Women & a founding member of the NAACP, Terrell collaborated closely with the likes of Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells, & W.E.B. Du Bois. 'Unceasing Militant' is a full-length biography of Terrell, bringing her vibrant voice & personality to life. Though most accounts of Terrell focus almost exclusively on her public activism, Alison M. Parker also looks at the often turbulent, unexplored moments in her life to provide a more complete account of a woman dedicated to changing the culture & institutions that perpetuated inequality throughout the United States.
