I poured throught this book the first time as all kind of triggers were being rang inside me. The understanding I now have as a result of reading this book empowered me. Then I read it again and experienced a deep foreboding then anpother enlightment. I realize that had I not been able to read at the level I can, this book would be collecting dust, or a gift. The message inside is so important for women of color, it should translated for the women most affected by the injustices described.

Titles of essays include, "A Black Man's Place in Black Feminist Criticism"; "Black Women: Shaping Feminist Theory"; "Women and Capitalism: Dialectics of Oppression and Liberation"; "The Social Consciousness of Black Feminist Thought"; "Radicalizing Feminism," etc.
