"A product of literary recovery at its very best. These carefully
researched essays help us to see how gender marginalized black
intellectuals who happened to be women." -- Claudia Tate, George
Washington University The Unruly Voice explores the literary and
journalistic career of Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins, a
turn-of-the-century African American writer who was editor in chief
of the Colored American Magazine, though it was not acknowledged on
the masthead. Hopkins wrote short fiction, novels, nonfiction
articles, and a play believed to be the first by an African
American woman. Versatile and politically committed, she was fired
when the magazine was bought by an ally of Booker T. Washington's
who disliked her editorial stands and unconciliatory politics. Even
though more than a thousand pages of Hopkins's works have been
brought back into print, The Unruly Voice is the first book devoted
exclusively to her writings and the significance she holds for
readers today. Contributors explore the social, political, and
historical conditions that informed her literary works.
