Correct! She is indeed the founder of NCNW.
She was also a major driving force in the creation of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the ONLY all-Black unit of the Women’s Army Corps to serve overseas (during WWII).

An early project of the NCNW was to assemble a cookbook that captured African American culture and furthered the cause of integration. The result was the Historical Cookbook of the American Negro (1958), which amplified heritage recipes with historical context to uplift Black women and families. /3

In 1935, she left the NACW + founded the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), an organization with a more explicit civil rights agenda. Bethune’s friendship with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was one of the reasons for the creation of the NCNW.

That same year, Mason represented the National Council of Negro Women at the International Women’s Democratic Federation. She later served as a vice president under Mary McLeod Bethune and, in 1953, succeeded Bethune as president. The group is dedicated to empowering women of African descent. /5
