- A Black Entrepreneur in Nineteenth-Century San Francisco

Om The Making of "Mammy Pleasant"

Examines the folklore of Mary Ellen Pleasant's real and imagined powers. Addressing the lack of a historical record of black women's lives, this book argues that the silences and mysteries of Pleasant's past, whether never recorded or intentionally omitted, reveal as much about her life as what has been documented.
