About the Book

There are over 519 million Black Women on the planet Earth, give or take a dozen. There's a Black Woman on each of the seven continents, in almost every country and in almost every context. There are even Black Women in the space program. So no matter where you go, she's already been there. She travels with forces greater than herself. Her presence is everywhere. Black Women For Beginners is a documentary comic book that chronicles the trials and triumphs of Black Women from antiquity to the present, reflecting with wit and humor the challenges they have faced and the fortitude and strength that have sustained Black Women and patterned history with a diversity of excellence. As warriors, healers, teachers, mothers, queens, and liberators Black Women have had tremendous impact on issues from food to fashion, from politics to poetry. Replete with a glossary of reference terms, Black Women For Beginners whimsically details the influence of stereotypes on the portrayal of Black Women in various venues and punctuates the absurd.

Review :
"A spirited inquiry addressing the aftereffects of the 'African diaspora' on black women worldwide, their struggles and triumphs... Sharp probes perceptions and stereotypes from time immemorial in an effective chronicle of the history and culture of black women... bringing a voice of humor and passion to much of the material." -Booklist-- "Reviews" "There are little-known facts in this informative book which give the reader a whole new way of looking at the history of Black women. It's done in a comic format with clips of writing alongside sketches and black and white photographs. A lot of research (and some personal opinion) has gone into making it radical, amusing and pro-Black. Worth reading if you are interested in looking at life from different angles." --The Voice, London-- "Reviews"
