I saw on Mediapart that a biography of Jacqueline Manicom (a black feminist who opened the Guadeloupe family planning office) is out, which spurred me to try & find the novel she wrote shortly before killing herself in the 70s: Mon examen de blanc (my whiteness exam) about a black female anesthetist. It is out of print but the e-book is now available.
