In this comprehensive history, Ashley D. Farmer examines black
women's political, social, and cultural engagement with Black Power
ideals and organizations. Complicating the assumption that sexism
relegated black women to the margins of the movement, Farmer
demonstrates how female activists fought for more inclusive
understandings of Black Power and social justice by developing new
ideas about black womanhood. This compelling book shows how the new
tropes of womanhood that they created--the "Militant Black
Domestic," the "Revolutionary Black Woman," and the "Third World
Woman," for instance--spurred debate among activists over the
importance of women and gender to Black Power organizing, causing
many of the era's organizations and leaders to critique patriarchy
and support gender equality. Making use of a vast and untapped
array of black women's artwork, political cartoons, manifestos, and
political essays that they produced as members of groups such as
the Black Panther Party and the Congress of African People, Farmer
reveals how black women activists reimagined black womanhood,
challenged sexism, and redefined the meaning of race, gender, and
identity in American life.
