Full Bio

[[wikipedia:Anna_J._Cooper|From Wikipedia:]]

:“Anna Julia Cooper (née Haywood; 1858–1964) was an American author, educator, sociologist, speaker, Black liberation activist, Black feminist leader, and one of the most prominent African-American scholars in United States history.”
:“Born into slavery in 1858, Cooper received a world-class education, which enabled her to claim sway and prestige in academic and social circles. In 1924, she received her PhD from the Sorbonne, University of Paris. Cooper became the fourth African-American woman to earn a doctoral degree. She was also a prominent member of Washington, D.C.’s African-American community, and a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.”
:“Cooper made contributions to social science fields, particularly in sociology. Her first book, ''[[Classics:A Voice from the South|A Voice from the South: By a Black Woman of the South]]'', is widely acknowledged as one of the first articulations of [[wikipedia:Black_feminism|Black feminism]], giving Cooper the often-used title of ‘the Mother of Black Feminism.’”
