5 pages in length. Ida B. Wells was only a young girl when she had her first tastes of social injustice; those experiences served as a springboard for a black, outspoken female to take on a multitude of racial and gender causes that even her male counterparts - black or white - could not conquer. Her tenacity was the defining factor in the extent to which she was able to go in her ceaseless quest for social justice, an objective she successful realized at least to some level; even if it was not abolished altogether, lynching incidents became fewer and farther between during the 1890s due in great part to her book The Red Record.
