  • Notes: first edition. Anna Julia Cooper (1858-1964), educator, feminist, and activist was born of a slave father and a free mother in Raleigh, NC. She attended Oberlin, later studied in Paris, and at Columbia University. She received a doctorate from Howard University in 1925. Cooper declared herself to be a representative black "voice from the South" and a feminist. She felt that the feminist/suffragist movement had overlooked the black woman. Her life spanned 105 years, from the period of slavery to the dawn of the modern Civil Rights movement.
