When was the African-American journalist which was among the majors of "Noted Negro Women: Their Triumphs and Activities" born?
Noted Negro Women: Their Triumphs and Activities Noted Negro Women: Their Triumphs and Activities was an anthology of biographies of African American women edited by Monroe Alpheus Majors published in 1893 in Chicago. Majors sketched the lives of nearly 300 women, including Edmonia Lewis, Amanda Smith, Ida B. Wells, and Sojourner Truth. Majors began to compile the book in Waco, Texas in 1890. He hoped to show the worth of black women for themselves and as an expression of the value of all African Americans. A significant omission from the book was Harriet Tubman. The book sought to shape contemporary attitudes and historian Milton C. Sernett hypothesizes that including Tubman would invoke memories of the pain of slavery.
