O knihe

"Things will change, and you must be ready
for different opportunities,"
John W. Woods Jr.
told his children. Author Marva Woods Stith followed her
father's sound advice and later became a professional black
woman in corporate America. In this memoir, she shares the
remarkable story of her father, her family, and her
challenges and successes.
Black Star Girl provides
a poignant account of Stith's life journey as an African
American woman beginning in the 1940s with stories of
family, most particularly the influence of a beloved,
strong, entrepreneurial father who was her role model. The
story continues with her account of her tenacious rise
through the ranks and how she joined the vanguard of
professional African American women in the 1950s and 1960s
while facing the challenges of discrimination in the
corporate world.
A vivid and personal portrait
with photographs included, Black Star Girl addresses an
array of themes-African American and women's studies, the
South of the '40s and '50s, black entrepreneurship, the
racial divide, and black women in corporate America. This
inspirational memoir not only serves as a family legacy but
provides an insightful socialhistorical documentary.
