Now in paperback A must for all libraries and women's studies,
Black studies, and multicultural programs, this new edition brings
together a huge body of materials by and about Black women, more
than doubling the number of works listed in its two predecessors.
Williams covers many more areas and disciplines to which
African-American women have contributed. Two articles feature the
recently deceased nonagenarian Dr. Eva Jessye (internationally
known choral director) and the vitally active octogenarian Dr.
Dorothy Porter Wesley (librarian and scholar). As before, pictures
of artists, art works, and authors are included. The major purposes
of this comprehensive reference are to call attention to the many
contributions African-American women have made to American and
world culture; to emphasize the continuity among their works; to
highlight some of the scholarly areas needing attention; and to
present as complete and as positive a portrait of these women as
possible through these works and about them.
