Using writers such as Harriet Wilson, Frances E. W. Harper, Pauline
Hopkins, Toni Morrison, Sherley Anne Williams, and Gayl Jones, the
author highlights recurring themes and the various responses of
black women writers to the issues of race and gender. Time and
again these writers link slavery with motherhood -- their
depictions of black womanhood are tied to the effects of slavery
and represented through the black mother. Parton shows that both
the image others have of black women as well as black women's own
self image is framed and influenced by the history of slavery. This
history would have us believe that female slaves were mere breeders
and not mothers. However, Patton uses the mother figure as a tool
to create an intriguing interdisciplinary literary analysis.
