Paul Giddings, author of When and Where I Enter: The Impact of Black Women in America, presents the first coherent analysis of the role of black women in America, both past and present. Through a historical perspective, the author also explores contemporary issues such as the crises of the black family, the relationship of black women to the present-day feminist movement, and the role of black women in the current racial struggle.
