A Bibliographical Guide to African-American Women Writers (Hardcover)

The most complete record of the literary achievement of black American women, this bibliography documents the works of and works about 900 writers from Theresa Williams Abram to Sister Zubena. Chronologically spanning the output from Lucy Terry's poem of 1746 to best sellers and obscure publications of 1991, it includes such stellar figures as Phillis Wheatley, Frances E. W. Harper, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Zora Neale Hurston, Gwendolyn Brooks, Lorraine Hansberry, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, and Terry McMillan. Considerable effort has been made to seek out products of small presses and unindexed periodicals. The thousands of primary sources are complemented by thousands of secondary sources. These appear directly with each author's entry, with cross references to separate sections for General Works and Anthologies. A comprehensive author index brings together primary and secondary sources.
