"Ensures that all who wish to know about Baker’s tireless
work can find a detailed account in one volume."
– Black Issues Book Review

"[Ransby’s] passionate and demanding book offers a striking, thorough exposition of Baker’s expansive, radical, humanist vision."
– Chicago Tribune

"Ella Baker was an unsung hero and intellectual giant of the black freedom struggle of the twentieth century. Ransby’s biography is a magnificent and timely reminder that Baker’s visionary voice, eloquent democratic silences, and unflinching faith in the power of ordinary people are much needed guides for the twenty-first century as well."
– Lani Guinier, Harvard University
