11. African American Women and the Vote, 1837–1965 (Gordon, Collier-Thomas, Bracey, Avakian, and Berkman, eds.) loosely periodizes African American women’s suffrage activism. Two of the periods framed by the editors of this collection and in the extant scholarship on black women’s suffrage activism are 1870–1896 and 1896–1935. These years are central to my temporal conceptualization of the New Negro era.
