Focusing on the experiences of black women within the Nation of Islam, Ula Taylor explores their struggle against the devaluation of their identities while navigating the promises of patriarchy. Despite being confined to traditional roles that discouraged outside employment, these women found empowerment by avoiding the degrading labor often faced by working-class black women. They created nurturing, racially affirming environments for their children, highlighting their resilience and agency within a patriarchal structure.
