A classic work of feminist scholarship, Ain't I a Woman has become a must-read for all those interested in the nature of black womanhood.

The result is nothing short of groundbreaking, giving this book a critical place on every feminist scholar's bookshelf.

I was raised by my mother. Though I accept that she was scared and did the best that she knew how, I have always regretted that she really couldn't tell me who she was. This book has opened my understanding of who she was and in the process has helped me better envision the world in which I live. For that reality bell hooks, I am eternally grateful.
