Despite recent advances in the study of black thought, black women intellectuals remain often neglected. This collection of essays by fifteen scholars of history & literature establishes black women's places in intellectual history by engaging the work of writers, educators, activists, religious leaders, & social reformers in the United States, Africa, & the Caribbean. Dedicated to recovering the contributions of thinkers marginalized by both their race & their gender, these essays uncover the work of unconventional intellectuals, both formally educated &  self-taught, & explore the broad community of ideas in which their work participated. The end result is a field-defining & innovative volume that addresses topics ranging from religion & slavery to the politicized & gendered reappraisal of the black female body in contemporary culture.
