"A Colored Woman in a White World" was written by civil rights advocate Mary Church Terrell. She earned a college degree at a time when black women typically didn't, and she went on to become president of the National Association of Colored Women. Terrell worked for women's suffrage, and was protesting for equality for black people even when she was very old.
