Antioch University Full-Text Dissertations & Theses
The purpose of this study is to document and recognize the role of grandmothers as leaders, role models, and mentors who can positively influence the lives of their granddaughters.

African American Women Leaders In The Civil Rights Movement: A Narrative Inquiry, Janet Dewart Bell
Antioch University Full-Text Dissertations & Theses
The purpose of this study is to give recognition to and lift up the voices of African American women leaders in the Civil Rights Movement.
