Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAt the close of the 19th century, a black woman of the South presents womanhood as a vital element in the regeneration and progress of her race.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   Review   Anna Julia Cooper was an extraordinary woman - a high school principal, the fourth African-American woman to receive a doctorate, a woman who spoke her mind eloquently and forcefully. Writing more than one hundred years ago, she argued that just as white men cannot fully understand the consciousness of black men, neither can black men completely comprehend black women's experience - and that it is black women who mark the progression of society: \"Only when the BLACK WOMAN can say 'when and where I enter, in the quiet, undisputed dignity of my womanhood, without violence and without suing or special patronage, then and there the whole Negro race enters with me.'\" At times her feminism seems conservative, as when she discusses women as a background moral force. Yet more often she is far ahead of her (and sometimes our) time and unafraid of delivering scathing commentary. Addressing the concern she has heard from southern men that education will limit a woman's \"chawnces\" for marriage, she writes \"The question is not now with the woman 'How shall I so cramp, stunt, simplify and nullify myself as to make me eligible to the honor of being swallowed up into some little man?' but ...how [man] can so develop his God-given powers as to reach the ideal of a generation of women who demand the noblest, grandest and best achievements of which he is capable.\" Sharp and passionate, A Voice From the South is full of relevant, eye-opening questions and insights. -- For great reviews of books for girls, check out . -- From ; review by Erica Bauermeister           About the Author   \u003cp\u003eoper \/f Anna \/i Julia\u003c\/p\u003e                                           ","brand":"Anna Julia Cooper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46070439346410,"sku":"9780837113845","price":84.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/5301\/6298\/files\/51fBQSQuLuL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781262369","url":"https:\/\/textbookme.store\/products\/a-voice-from-the-south-by-a-black-woman-of-the-south","provider":"TextbookMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
