Description
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: 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. Book jacket.

Even though most of these essays were written in the late 1960s and early 1970s they are still speaking to some of the same situations we as black women are facing in 2009. This book would be great gift to give a young black woman. It's so amazing to read the early work of such greats as Alice
