Beauty shop politics
Looking through the lens of black business history, this book shows how black beauticians in the Jim Crow era showed their economic independence and access to a public community space into platforms for activism. The author argues that the beauty industry played a crucial role in the creation of the modern black female identity and that the seemingly frivolous space of a beauty salon actually has stimulated social, political, and economic change. From the founding of the National Negro Business League in 1900 and onward, African Americans have embraced the entrepreneurial spirit by starting their own businesses, but black women's forays into the business world were overshadowed by those of black men. With a broad scope that encompasses the role of gossip in salons, ethnic beauty products, and the social meanings of African American hair textures, Gill shows how African American beauty entrepreneurs built and sustained a vibrant culture of activism in beauty salons and schools.- Creator

The trouble between us

The trouble between us
The women who launched the radical second wave of the feminist movement believed in universal sisterhood and color-blind democracy. Their hopes, however, were soon dashed. To this day, the failure to create an .integrated movement remains a sensitive and contested issue. In this book Winifred Breines explores why a racially integrated women's liberation movement did not develop in the United States. .Drawing on flyers, letters, newspapers, journals, institutional records, and oral histories, Breines dissects how white and black women's participation in the movements of the 1960s led to the development of separate feminisms. Herself a participant in these events, Breines attempts to reconcile the explicit professions of anti-racism by white feminists with the accusations of mistreatment, ignorance, and neglect by African American feminists. Many radical white women, unable to see beyond their own experiences and idealism, often behaved in unconsciously or abstractly racist ways, despite their passionately anti-racist stance and hard work to develop an interracial movement. As Breines argues, however, white feminists' racism is not the only reason for the absence of an interracial feminist movement. Segregation, black women's interest in the Black Power movement, class differences, and the development of identity politics with an emphasis on 'difference' were all powerful factors that divided white and black women. By the late 1970s and early 1980s white feminists began to understand black feminism's call to include race and class in gender analyses, and black feminists began to give white feminists some credit for their political work. Despite early setbacks, white and black radical feminists eventually developed cross-racial feminist political projects.- Creator

Eloquent rage
Autobiography about the authors' process of both becoming a feminist and accepting rage as a feminist superpower. According to the author black women need to embrace this process more in order to bring progress and change. She argues that feminism can give black women and girls a common language to think about how sexism, racism and classism work together to call rage.- Creator

Women of color and the reproductive rights movement
Nelson retells the story of the feminist struggle for legal abortion and reproductive rights in the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s through the particular contributions of women of colour. Nelson shows that women of colour were able to successfully remake the mainstream women's liberation and reproductive rights movements by shifting their agenda away from a focus solely on the right to abortion and by appropriating select aspects of Black and Puerto Rican nationalist politics - including the need to address sterilization abuse, access to affordable childcare and healthcare, and ways to raise children out of poverty - for feminist discourse.- Creator

Women of color and feminism
The author examines the question of how women of color experience feminism, and how race and socioeconomics can alter this experience.

The topics include sexuality, social movements and activism, violence, reproductive rights, popular culture, identities and love.- Creator

Freedom for women
The author argues against the prevalent belief that the women's movement grew out of frustrations over the male chauvinism experienced by women in the Black Freedom Movement and the New Left. Instead, she contends, it was the ideas, resources, and skills that women gained in these movements that were the new and necessary catalysts for forging the women’s movement in the 1960s. Special focus is on the movements in Florida. The study takes notice of the leadership of African American women in the movement.- Creator
