Pauli Murray: The Autobiography of a Black Activist, Feminist, Lawyer, Priest, and Poet
I had never heard of Pauli Murray before reading this book for school, and I'm glad I did as she is an absolutely fascinating woman whose influence and contribution to the American civil rights movement and feminism is far reaching. Strangely I don't feel as though this book sheds much light on Pauli Murray as a person. I now know about all her accomplishments, the important people she worked with, but she seemed to go out of her way to keep from revealing her true self. She obviously was uncomfortable with her own sexuality and gender identity, and it's obvious she held a lot of these feelings back in her memoir.
