"Righteous Discontent": Mary Virginia Cook Parrish and Black Baptist Women.
- Authors
Williams, Lawrence H.
- Abstract
The article discusses the roles played by African American Baptist women in the last decades of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth to understand the position that African American Baptist churches will assume in relation to women in the new millennium. It looks at the life of Mary Virginia Cook Parrish who held many positions in African American Baptist life. By the end of the nineteenth century, African American women's movement served as an alternative to fighting preachers over their monopoly of congregational leadership.
