abstract	Elsie Austin was the first African-American woman to graduate from the University of Cincinnati School of Law in 1930. She went on to become the first African-American woman to serve as assistant attorney general for the state of Ohio, and for a decade afterward, she was a foreign service diplomat for the US Information Agency, with cultural and educational projects in several African countries. This book gives a fictionalized account of her life based on the author's research of and interviews with Elsie Austin. It is hoped the book will give the reader a clearer understanding of who this champion of racial justice was and what she accomplished during her lifetime"--
