| Résumé: | "Black Woman in Green tells the story of a young widow who left the urban East for the forested West seeking a better life for her children. It highlights Gloria Brown's determination and grit in working her way up in a primarily white, male organization to become the first female African American forest supervisor in the US Forest Service. From raising children alone to conducting civil rights trainings to breaking glass ceilings, Gloria Brown's humor and willingness to believe in the basic goodness of humanity makes possible a powerful and instructive leadership journey. Black Woman in Green provides a case study for public administration, contributes to understanding the overlapping environmental and civil rights movements of the twentieth century, and highlights issues of representation in the federal government, women's history, the history of the American West, and literature associated with African American experiences in predominately white societies"-- |
