NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER and one of The Roots' 28 Brilliant Books by Black Authors in 2018, this highly-anticipated collection of linked essays by Morgan Jerkins offers incisive commentary on pop culture, feminism, black history, misogyny, and racism, intertwined with her personal experiences. Aimed at exploring the challenges of being a black woman today, it resonates with fans of notable works by Roxane Gay, Rebecca Solnit, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. In her twenties, Jerkins has already made a name for herself as a brutally honest writer unafraid to tackle tough subjects. She delves into the provocative question of what it means to exist as a black woman in contemporary society. While the book centers on black women, it serves as essential reading for all Americans. Jerkins highlights the double disenfranchisement faced by black women—objectified, silenced, and marginalized within the predominantly white feminist movement. Acting as both narrator and subject, she exposes the social and historical narratives of black female oppression that impact both the black community and the broader, male-dominated world. Through her compelling writing, she addresses a range of topics, including pop culture references, personal struggles, and the complexities of identity, making her insights both revelatory and impactful.
