Her work is brave, even if we do not know her story. Hopkins was best known as a novelist of power and eloquence in her own day, at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Her work has such impact that nearly all of her fiction remains in print, such as Contending Forces. However, her nonfiction, which is equally compelling, was scattered and difficult to find. Dworkin (African studies and English, Gettysburg College) has done readers a tremendous service by gathering here Hopkins's biographies of African Americans, speeches, and even a letter from the 1870s when Hopkins was probably not yet a teenager. Dworkin provides able notes and commentary but lets Hopkins speak for herself on politics, Jim Crow, Reconstruction, the connections between race and labor, and equal rights for women. This is a gem.
