The Story Of Dorothy Stanfield

By Oscar Micheaux

Book Overview

The Story of Dorothy Stanfield is a novel written by Oscar Micheaux. It tells the story of a young African American woman named Dorothy Stanfield who is forced to leave her hometown in the South and move to Chicago to escape the racial violence and oppression of the Jim Crow era. In Chicago, Dorothy struggles to make a new life for herself, facing discrimination and prejudice at every turn. However, she eventually finds love and success, becoming a successful businesswoman and community leader. Along the way, Dorothy must confront the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated society, as well as the complexities of race relations in America. The novel is a powerful exploration of the African American experience in the early 20th century, and a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
