- Description
- This book pays attention to the written narratives of six acclaimed black women in entertainment: Diahann Carroll, Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Eartha Kitt, Whoopi Goldberg, and Mary Wilson. Dreher uses autobiography as a tool to see beyond the glamour image of popular culture and to explore each women's full meaning in American culture at large, in the American entertainment culture, and in the politically charged environment of the black community. We learn the real stories of the women as wife, (single) mother, widow, world traveler and wanderer, battered child/battred woman, divorcee, drug abuser, banished and exiled woman, activist/renegade and, ultimately, storyteller.
