This book profiles the compelling story and lineage of Stephanie St. Clair, a black female Caribbean immigrant in the early twentieth century. Upon entering the US, St. Clair created and managed a highly lucrative policy bank in Harlem ‒ earning a quarter of a million dollars a year. The author also explores St. Clair's lineage and the factors that influenced her decision to become an entrepreneur and activist.
Shirley Stewart received a BA in political science and economics from Fordham University and an MA in women's history from Sarah Lawrence College.
