Summary:
A demanding feminist, devout Christian, and savvy grassroots
civil
rights
organizer, Anna Arnold Hedgeman played a key role in over half a century of social justice initiatives. Through a commitment to faith-based activism,
civil
rights
, and feminism, Hedgeman participated in and led some of the 20th century's most important developments, including advances in education, public health, politics, and workplace justice. Simultaneously a dignified woman and scrappy freedom fighter, Hedgeman's life upends conventional understandings of many aspects of the
civil
rights
and feminist movements. She worked as a teacher, lobbyist, politician, social worker, and activist, often crafting and implementing policy behind the scenes. Although she repeatedly found herself a woman among men, a black American among whites, and a secular Christian among clergy, she maintained her conflicting identities and worked alongside others to forge a common humanity.
