Home to established African American institutions and communities,
Washington, D.C., offered women in the New Negro movement a unique
setting for the fight against racial and gender oppression. Colored
No More traces how African American women of the late-nineteenth
and early twentieth century made significant strides toward making
the nation's capital a more equal and dynamic urban center. Treva
B. Lindsey presents New Negro womanhood as a multidimensional space
that included race women, blues women, mothers, white collar
professionals, beauticians, fortune tellers, sex workers,
same-gender couples, artists, activists, and innovators. Drawing
from these differing but interconnected African American women's
spaces, Lindsey excavates a multifaceted urban and cultural history
of struggle toward a vision of equality that could emerge and
sustain itself. Upward mobility to equal citizenship for African
American women encompassed challenging racial, gender, class, and
sexuality status quos. Lindsey maps the intersection of these
challenges and their place at the core of New Negro womanhood.
