There is no denying that Black women have been breaking down barriers and shattering stereotypes for generations by playing a powerful and important role in American history. TRAILBLAZERS, Black Women Who Helped Make America Great, American Firsts/American Icons by Gabrielle David is a six-volume series that examines over 400 brilliant women from the eighteenth century to the present who blazed uncharted paths in every conceivable way. Each volume is organized into sections. Besides providing biographical information written in a warm and welcoming tone, replete with powerful photographs, David provides a historical timeline for each section that maps out the significance of the featured women that follow.

Literary greats like Gwendolyn Brooks and Toni Morrison rest on the iconic firsts of Lucy Terry, Phillis Wheatley and Harriet E. Wilson, and a new generation like Natasha Trethewey and Jesmyn Ward. We learn that Black ingenuity and entrepreneurship began during slavery beginning with the millionaire Mary Ellen Pleasant, with Maggie Lena Walker and Annie Minerva Turnbo Malone paving the way for the likes of Oprah Winfrey. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter makes an appearance here as a businesswoman, reminding us of her multifaceted talent. David explores the Black women who dared to serve in the United States Armed Forces who served as early as the Civil War, beginning with nurse, cook, and laundress, Susie King Taylor, and Cathay Williams, who enlisted in the U.S. Regular Army as a man; to the ascension of U.S. Navy Admiral Michelle Janine Howard, and U.S. Marine Corp. Brigadier General Lorna Mahlock. Notable contributions have been made by Black women in film, music and television, like pioneering filmmakers Jessie Maple and Kathleen Collins, film directors like Gina Prince-Bythewood, television producer Shonda Rhimes, and music producers like Sylvia Robinson and Suzanne de Passe.
