Notes:
Black women are the great American success story: they must acknowledge their power and then wield the hell out of it. Like a shadow's distended, colourless depiction of reality, the truth about Black women has been contorted. In this book, Charity C. Elder - journalist and digital media executive - makes the counterintuitive argument that there has never been a better time to be a Black woman in America. Expertly weaving historical and sociological frameworks with poignant personal narratives, Elder reframes pejorative stereotypes of Black women by reporting on the untold story of triumph and ascendance.
