Dr. Anna Pauline 'Pauli' Murray (1910-1985) was a trailblazing social activist, writer, lawyer, civil rights organizer, & campaigner for gender rights. In the 1930s & 1940s, she was active in radical left-wing political groups & helped innovate nonviolent protest strategies against segregation that would become iconic in later decades, & in the 1960s, she cofounded the National Organization for Women (NOW). In additions, Murray became the first African American to receive a Yale law doctorate & 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 & mental health, conflicts over her gender & sexual identities, family traumas, & financial difficulties. In this intimate biography, Troy Saxby provides the most comprehensive account of Murray's inner life to date. ER -
