While there have been great accomplishments in the area of women's
history as well as education, Darlene Clark Hine points that "black
women's history is just beginning to emerge as a vital area within
women's and Afro American history, and much work remains to be
done." Part of the work that "remains" both in the field of human
sexuality as well as Black women's history includes uncovering the
voices of elder women who have been overlooked and undervalued.
This book attempts to fill the remaining space with accounts of
sexuality education and experiences as told by Black women, thereby
contributing to current sex education literature by providing a
glimpse into sexuality education and its resulting impact on Black
women in the 1920s - 1940s. Moreover this book adds to both Black
women's sexual history and sexuality education in that it makes
visible that which was once invisible. The oral histories presented
here should prove helpful to Black people, young and old, as well
as students, educators and researchers interested in the history of
sexuality education and/or Women of Color.
