Powerful Black Women
This book nearly got 4 stars, but is simply not as large as it might have been.
Having said that, the photographs - nearly all full size - are top notch in this book, and the books valuable for that alone. If you want to see what pens looked like in their heyday, I can very much recommend this book along those lines.
