Ida B. Wells was suggested as a good candidate, and I happen to agree. Went looking for her archives and found a nice sized collection at the U. of Chicago, but "The collection also contains Wells’ diaries from 1885-1887 and 1930, and two other books owned by her." So not great for books she owned, being only two extant in the collection. From what I can see, it looks like these are said books:

Norman B. Wood, The White Side of a Black Subject (Chicago: American Publishing House, 1897)
Historical Records of the Conventions of 1895-96 of the Colored Women of America (Boston: 1902)

Anyone know of more elsewhere?
