The incredible memoir of Elaine Brown - the first woman leader of the Black Panthers 'Here I
was  a woman  proclaiming supreme power over the most militant organization in America' In 1974
Elaine Brown became the first woman leader of the Black Panther Party. This is her
unforgettable memoir  charting her rise from an impoverished neighbourhood in Philadelphia 
through her political awakening during a bohemian adolescence  and on to her time as a foot
soldier for the Panthers and ascent into its male-dominated upper ranks. It is a seminal
exploration of power  racism and one woman's revolutionary struggle. 'Heart-wrenching  wild and
moving ... a glowing achievement' Los Angeles Times 'What Elaine Brown writes is so astonishing
at times it is even difficult to believe she survived it. And yet she did  bringing us that
amazing light of the black woman's magical resilience' Alice Walker
