Black Women Writers presents 100,000 pages of literature and essays on feminist issues, written by authors from
Africa and the African Diaspora. Facing both sexism and racism, black women needed to create their own identities
and movements. The collection documents that effort, presenting the woman’s perspective on the diversity and development
of black people generally, and in particular the works document the evolution of black feminism. Many of the writings
have been hidden in rare and hard to find texts, obscure typewritten documents, photocopied journals, and other
fugitive sources.
Coverage of African American women begins in the eighteenth century with narratives depicting slavery,
moves through and beyond the Harlem Renaissance, and includes writers from the movements of the 1960s,
covering womanism, black feminism, and related topics.
