Book Description
A collection of early, emerging works from some of the most celebrated African American female writers who remain strong when the weight of a world filled with racism and gender discrimination wants to drag them down. When it was first published in 1970, The Black Woman introduced readers to an astonishing new wave of voices that demanded to be heard. In this groundbreaking volume of original essays, poems, and stories, a chorus of outspoken women—many who would become leaders in their fields, such as bestselling novelist Alice Walker, poets Audre Lorde and Nikki Giovanni, writer Paule Marshall, activist Grace Lee Boggs, and musician Abbey Lincoln among them— tackled issues surrounding race and sex, body image, the economy, politics, labor, and much more. Their words still resonate with truth, relevance, and insight today as the fight for racial and gender equality continues to rage on.

Book Description
2021 NAACP Image Award Nominee: Outstanding Literary Work – Non-Fiction Honorable Mention for the 2021 Organization of American Historians Darlene Clark Hine Award A vibrant and empowering history that emphasizes the perspectives and stories of African American women to show how they are—and have always been—instrumental in shaping our country In centering Black women’s stories, two award-winning historians seek both to empower African American women and to show their allies that Black women’s unique ability to make their own communities while combatting centuries of oppression is an essential component in our continued resistance to systemic racism and sexism. Daina Ramey Berry and Kali Nicole Gross offer an examination and celebration of Black womanhood, beginning with the first African women who arrived in what became the United States to African American women of today. A Black Women’s History of the United States reaches far beyond a single narrative to showcase Black women’s lives in all their fraught complexities. Berry and Gross prioritize many voices: enslaved women, freedwomen, religious leaders, artists, queer women, activists, and women who lived outside the law. The result is a starting point for exploring Black women’s history and a testament to the beauty, richness, rhythm, tragedy, heartbreak, rage, and enduring love that abounds in the spirit of Black women in communities throughout the nation.

Book Description
When I first thought about writing this, I have to be honest and state that I was a little afraid to mess it up. I would think about if I missed something or offended someone, nevertheless I just had to do it. I remember reading The Message to The Black Man in America and wondered why wasn't there something for black women. Then not wanting to offend Elijah Muhammad's followers I became more at odds with my decision, but thinking about my sisters I just had to do it. I reflected on all of the things that the black woman in America goes through. True, other women in the world go through trials and tribulations, as well as have dreams and aspirations, but I believe that no one deserved a one on one more than the black woman in America. Why? I truly believe such, for starters, is that I'm black and that I was raised by a black woman. In our culture it is usually the black woman who raises the black boy to be a man - which is sad but true. It is usually the black woman who is the first teacher. But then it is the black woman who is constantly disrespected. Then of course, it is usually the black woman who has to save the day. Then - honestly, for we must always be honest, right? Who can even compare to the black woman in America? It was the black woman who used to push to slaves to fight for their freedom. It was the black woman who sparked a rebellion and organized sit downs so that we today can eat in restaurants - even when we were considered free. It was the black woman who fought to abolish the lynching of blacks in the south. It was a black woman who pushed a black man become the president of the United States of America.Black queens, I ask that if I have forgotten something or even offend you in the slightest to forgive me for that is not my intention. For my sincere intention is to just have a little one on one with you out of respect. I've compiled this message so that it is short so it does not take much of your time...but I pray that you get something from it.Peace and love.Your brother,Jonah Sanders

Book Description
It's time for a REDEFINITION among black women in America. In its 2011 hardcover release, Black Woman Redefined was a top-selling book and took home a 2011 Best Non-Fiction Book of the Year Award from the African American Literary Awards. Author Sophia A. Nelson won the 2012 Champions of Diversity Award, given each year by diversity business executives in Fortune 100 companies. Black Woman Redefined was inspired in part by what Nelson calls “open season on accomplished black women": from Don Imus's name-calling of black female basketball players in 2007 and a 2009 Yale University study titled “Marriage Eludes High-Achieving Black Women," to the more recent revelation that First Lady Michelle Obama is concerned about being painted as an “angry, black woman." In Black Woman Redefined, Nelson sets out to change this cultural perception, taking readers on a no-holds-barred journey into the hearts and minds of accomplished black women to reveal truths, tribulations, and insights like never before. This groundbreaking book provides black women of a new generation with essential career and life-coaching advice. Based on never-before-done research on college-educated, career-driven black women, Nelson offers her fellow “sisters"—and those who know, love, and work with them—a feel-good volume for personal and professional success that empowers them without tearing others down.
