A glamorous and sumptuous celebration of Black female artists, actors, entertainers and writers of the 20th century. Author Nichelle Gainer has drawn on personal family memories and largely undiscovered library archives to create a glorious collection of images and biographies that explore the lives and indomitable spirit of beautiful women who wowed audiences on screen, stage and the page, but who went largely ignored by mainstream media.
