A cultural history of the work of nineteenth-century black women
writers, this volume traces the emergence of the novel as a forum
for political and cultural reconstruction, examining the ways in
which dominant sexual ideologies influenced the literary
conventions of women's fiction, and reassessing the uses of fiction
in American culture. Carby revises the history of the period of Jim
Crow and Booker T. Washington, depicting a time of intense cultural
and political activity by such black women writers as Ida B. Wells,
Anna Julia Cooper, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, and Pauline
Hopkins.
