From the Publisher
“Double Victory is a treasure trove of little-known African American history. Cheryl Mullenbach reveals the stories our parents and grandparents were too humble to tell. Read this book and, no matter how much you think you know, you will learn something new.” —Sherri L. Smith, author, Flygirl
“Cheryl Mullenbach has done a great service in telling the stories of these determined black women who fought racial injustice two decades before the civil rights movement in order to win the right to fight fascism alongside their fellow Americans. Double Victory is at once heartbreaking and inspiring.” —Kathryn Atwood, author of Women Heroes of Word War II
“Double Victory . . . spotlights the history of ordinary women who stepped up, spoke out, and defied the rules. These unforgettable African American women denied the America they had in favor of the America in which they hoped to live—and paved the way for the women who continue to create the America we have today.” —Tanita S. Davis, author, Mare’s War
“In this important new book, Mullenbach demonstrates how black women experienced World War II as a watershed event that ultimately led to more freedoms and equality.” —Maggi M. Morehouse, author, Fighting in the Jim Crow Army: Black Men and Women Remember World War II
“This is an excellent title for expanding students’ view of the Civil Rights Movement.”—School Library Journal
“A valuable asset.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Although this book was written for young adults, there's so much fascinating information in it that individuals of any age will find it well worth reading.”—Bookloons
