For Drew Gilpin, the acceptance of both female subordination and racial hierarchy proved intolerable and galvanizing. During the 1960s, Drew forged a path of her own, one that would eventually lead her to become a historian of the very conflicts that were instrumental in shaping the world she grew up in." -- publisher's description.
