Publisher's Summary
African American women have always played an important role in molding our country's history, and this book aims to highlight their contributions.
A pair of award-winning historians are attempting to both inspire African American women and convince their allies that Black women's unique capacity to construct their own communities while battling centuries of oppression is a crucial component in our ongoing resistance to systemic racism and sexism.
Rather than focusing on a particular story, Black Women's History: Trivia & Facts of Black Women in the United States explores the lives of Black women in all their tumultuous complexity. Berry and Gross place a high value on the voices of enslaved women, freedwomen, religious leaders, artists, queer women, activists, and women who lived beyond the law.
For those who want to learn more about Black women's history as well as the beauty, richness, rhythm, and tragedy that permeate the spirit of Black women in communities across America, this book serves as a beginning point.
