Ida, in Love and in Trouble

Before she became a warrior, Ida B. Wells was an incomparable flirt with a quick wit and a dream of becoming a renowned writer. The first child of newly freed parents who thrived in a community that pulsated with hope and possibility after the Civil War, Ida had a big heart, big ambitions, and even bigger questions: How to be a good big sister when her beloved parents perish in a yellow fever epidemic? How to launch her career as a teacher? How to make and keep friends in a society that seems to have no place for a woman who speaks her own mind? And — always top of mind for Ida — how to find a love that will let her be the woman she dreams of becoming?

Ahead of her time by decades, Ida B. Wells pioneered the field of investigative journalism with her powerful reporting on violence against African Americans. Her name became synonymous with courage and an unflinching demand for racial and gender equality. But there were so many facets to Ida Bell, and critically acclaimed writer Veronica Chamber unspools her full and colorful life as Ida comes of age in the rapidly changing South, filled with lavish society dances and parties, swoon-worthy gentleman callers, and a world ripe for the taking.

Description

"Chambers offers a riveting account of the early-adult years of a revolutionary journalist whose work was 'pinned on [her] heart, more permanently than any suitor ever could be.' The book, which spans the years 1885-1895, maintains historical continuity and doesn’t shy away from (or overdramatize) Wells’ own documented introspection about her love life. The lively writing invites readers on a riveting journey through Wells’ rise to becoming one of the most important journalists in a country that was in constant turmoil and transition. A vivid, timely, and immersive introduction to an activist and her enduring legacy." — Kirkus Reviews
