More about the book
The book critiques the masculinist bias in black politics that emerged in the sixties, highlighting the marginalization of women within the Black Power movement and the limitations imposed by traditional myths of black womanhood. In a new introduction added in 1990, the author reflects on the ongoing debates sparked by the work among intellectuals and political leaders, alongside a comprehensive bibliography of contemporary black feminist studies. Its arguments have significantly influenced current feminist and black theory, maintaining its relevance in today's discussions.
