Dr. Jones is the author of Vanguard: How Black Women Broke Barriers, Won the Vote, and Fought for Rights for All, a new history of African American women’s political lives in America. The book recounts how they defied both racism and sexism to fight for the ballot, and how they wielded political power to secure the equality and dignity of all persons. The book won the 2020 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History.
