"Horne is the first biographer to grant Shirley Graham Du Bois her due." (Boston Globe) "Horne's writing handsomely communicates the artistic, political and social climate of the world that created the multidimensional Graham Du Bois... You will not want to put it down." (Black Issues Book Review) "A fascinating account of the extraordinary life of W. E. B. Du Bois's widow: a complex, creative woman who lived a colorful, meaningful life." (Essence) "Gerald Horne has brought a wealth of detail and insight to the life of Shirley Graham Du Bois, a writer and activist as significant in her own right as for her long and vital companionship with W. E. B. Du Bois." - David Levering Lewis,Pulitzer Prize winner and author of W. E. B. Du Bois: The Fight for Equality and the American Century, 1919-1963 "Gerald Horne rescues Shirley Graham Du Bois from historical obscurity and from the shadow of her husband."
