"This is the story of a woman who was not famous beyond the boundaries of her own community; or even very widely within it. Belmira Nunes Lopes's life spans this century; her career is intertwined with the struggle for Black equity in this country, for the recognition of her people, the Cape Verdeans, and for equal opportunity for women....This is also not a work of analytical scholarship; it is a source. It may be especially valuable for those interested in the history of Cape Verdeans in the United States, for those interested in comparative ethnicity, and for those interested in one rather remarkable woman's view of her life."
