Anna Julia Haywood Cooper (August 10, 1858 – February 27, 1964) was an American author, educator, speaker and one of the most prominent African-American scholars in United States history. Upon receiving her PhD in history from the University of Paris-Sorbonne  in 1924, Cooper became the fourth African-American woman to earn a doctoral degree.  Her book, A Voice from the South is widely viewed as one of the first articulations of Black feminism.
