The Life Story of Ann Lowe: America's First Black Woman Haute Couture Designer and Fashion's Best Kept Secret gives a comprehensive overview of the life and achievements of a woman who endured racism, betrayal, financial hardship, and personal tragedy, all to become the first black woman to own a shop on the prestigious Madison Ave in New York.
