This far by faith : readings in African-American women's religious biography by Judith Weisenfeld and Richard Newman
A collection of biographies of many women, including gospel singers, black nuns, preachers, missionaries and civil rights workers.

Spanning from the period of slavery to the present, the essays profile American figures such as Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Willie Mae Ford Smith, exploring the role that religious institutions and impulses played in their lives.
