The Dismissal of Miss Ruth Brown: Civil Rights,… von Louise S. Robbins
Scholarly tone, but very interesting story.
This book tells of a true story that took place during the 1950s. Ruth Brown, a librarian in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, was fired for supposedly keeping subversive periodicals in the library, but quite possibly this was a cover for her activism in civil rights in the town. What I appreciate about this book is that it really covers so many angles of the story; intellectual freedom, civil rights, the role of women... they all intersect in a peculiar way. Highly recommended.
