They Raised Me Up is the story of her battle to succeed in the world of jam sessions and jazz clubs--a man's world where women were seen as either sex objects or doormats. To survive, she had to find a way to pay the bills, overcome a crippling case of stage fright, fend off a series of unsuitable men, and most important, find a reliable babysitter.African American single mothersBiographyAfrican American women musiciansBiographyAfrican American womenBiographyElectronic books.African American single mothersAfrican American women musiciansAfrican American women306.8743208996073Wilkins Carolyn Marie952772MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463346803321They raised me up2236393UNINA
