Through interviews with prominent legal academics such as Lani
Guinier and Kimberle Crenshaw, Outsiders Within presents the trials
and accomplishments of black women law professors who began to
enter the legal academy in the 1970s and 80s. The often-overlooked
legacies of these women are brought to light as chapters highlight
the work of important women like Jean Cahn, who co-founded Antioch
Law School in 1972, and Emma Coleman-Jordan, who founded the
Northeast Corridor Collective of black women law professors in
1988. Author Elwood Watson also discusses the scholarship of a
number of black women law professors who have written on the
intersection of race and gender, and employs their findings to
determine how the experiences of black women in the law academy
differ from those of black men and white men and women.
