Wells was known for her passion for justice. “It was in Memphis where she first began to fight (literally) for racial and gender justice” , stated Lee Baker.

Wells-Barnett is an example of a women who broke many barriers, exceeding the limitations put on her by the social constructs of her race and gender.
