Reviews
A landmark black feminist text ... This text deserves rereading. * Ms. Magazine *
One of the first books truly critiquing the systems in place, ways of thinking and being that feed the myth of black women as the ultimate heroine. * The Root *
Wallace, a young black feminist, writes thoughtfully and temperately ... Her voice has a special authority. * Kirkus Reviews *
[Wallace] is a light to Black Feminism, Women and Gender Studies, African American and Diaspora Studies, Film Studies, popular culture, the art world, and beyond. * The Feminist Wire *
A book of great vision. * Meridians Journal *
Courageous, outspoken, clear-eyed. * Publishers Weekly *
Serious, well-written, effective in its demystification, valuable as a model of hardheaded but caring analysis, principled in its criticism ... Wallace's fearless presentation of her analysis quite takes the breath away. -- Toni Cade Bambara * Washington Post *
