The Black Feminine Mystique

The Black Feminine Mystique is a collection of poetry that celebrates women of color. It draws from mythology; from the many Black women heroines from history; from women living and dead; and from writers artists athletes and women from the author's life including but not limited to his four sisters and his mother. The Black Feminine Mystique paints a broad stroke from Isis to Ida B. Wells from Hagar in the Wilderness to Winnie Mandela and from the so-called Hottentot Venus to Venus Williams. One writer said that miscegenation created fifty-five shades which is part of the Black Feminine Mystique.
