Description
Stephanie St. Clair, famously known as Madame Queen, rose from West Indian immigrant to the powerful leader of Harlem's numbers game in the 1920s. A savvy businesswoman and fierce advocate for her community, she defied the criminal underworld and systemic racism, becoming a legend often overshadowed by her male contemporaries. This biography reclaims her rightful place in history.
