Black macho and the myth of the superwoman

Author: Michele Wallace
ISBN: 0860915182

Michele Wallace blasts the masculinist bias of 1960s Black politics, showing how women remained marginalised by the patriarchal culture of Black Power. She describes the ways in which traditional, male-identified myths of Black womanhood block the development of a separate female subjectivity.
