The Women Who Said, "I Am".
Rooks, Noliwe
Sage: A Scholarly Journal on Black Women, Suppl p30-35 1988
Conditions under which Black women have lived are examined. The Puritan ethic and economic conditions led to a view of Black women as immoral temptations. Later this was reenforced as Black women were given only menial jobs and excluded from participation in women's movements. Still, Black women have made significant contributions. (VM)
