Description

"Lindsey's Colored No More succeeds in changing the way we see African American women in the nation's capital from the 1890s through the 1920s. She innovatively and provocatively brings together histories of black women in higher education, beauty culture, the suffrage movement, and literary salons to prove that Washington was a site of New Negro ideology."--Journal of Southern History

"Lindsay successfully demonstrates that New Negro womanhood was a complex and capacious category accommodating a range of social, political, and sexual beliefs. . . . Colored No More is essential to the historiography of Washington, D.C."--Washington History
