About this book

Force Of A Feather by DeEtta Demaratus. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780874807141.

A gracefully-written account of the extraordinary life of Biddy Mason, a former slave who, at the time of her death in 1891, had become a renowned philanthropist and one of the wealthiest African American women in California.
