Reviews:
"A clear statement about Black women. Congratulations to the editors for compiling such a fine interdisciplinary volume." —Geraldine K. Brookins, PhD, Jackson State University
“Exciting! Affirmations and the beginning of a new era, where the ‘women’ in women’s studies will no longer mean ‘white.’” —Audre Lorde
"This is ‘necessary bread’ for women of all colors. The essays contain not only fact and durable resources, but some of the best writing I’ve seen around.” —Adrienne Rich
