Black Woman

Originally published amid the generation-defining moments of the Black Power and Feminist movements, The Black Woman was one of the first book to give black American women a platform to voice their fears, hopes, angers and hard-won victories. With contributions from activists, academics, housewives, poets and authors, these 33 pieces consider subjects ranging from politics to motherhood. This book exhorts us to transcend the past in order to lay the groundwork for the future. A brave, passionate and revolutionary collection, timely reissued.
