Description: In A Voice from the South, Cooper addresses some major African-American issues from the standpoint of the late nineteenth century. The first half of the book concerns the essential role of education for African American women and the last part argues that education, especially a practical education, of many African Americans is the best investment for the economy. She attacks segregation for damaging the whole nation, takes a stand against the dangers of agnosticism, and argues for the right to vote of all women. In the second half of the book Cooper discusses a number of authors and their representations of African Americans and challenges writers to provide a successful portrayal of individuals from the post-Civil War era.
