Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower | Brittney Cooper

pick

🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷/5 Cheers
This book is everything, absolutely exhilarating! Cooper‘s passion for black women & girls radiates throughout this book. It‘s hard not to have your blood pressure go up a notch and your heart race a little faster while reading this book. I screamed out loud, laughed, said amen & preach Brittney! She spares the feelings of no one & I fully appreciate her take it or leave it unapologetic #blackfeminist truth telling #spinesvines

Weaponxgirl I thought this one was great! I loved her take down on men who have feminist rhetoric down pat but don't actually support the women in their life emotionally. I was screeching this is what I've been talking about 6y

"Your verses, my dear, are real poetry. They have..."the authentic fire." Archibald Grimke to his daughter, Angelina Weld Grimke

I'm sitting in the parking lot waiting for my gf to get out of class. She dislocated her left shoulder and it's finals week, in a week. Can't drive and only using one arm, being in pain while trying to study for finals ? #blackfeminist #NationalPoetryMonth #blackwomen #poetry

Buddys_Momma Hope your gf gets well soon! 7y

ProfMasala @Buddys_Momma it's a process, lots of wine for me and monitored pain patches for her 😣 7y

The bleak way for each other's sake
Less rugged and unkind?"

"Without women writers, the Harlem Renaissance would have been a bleaker place. Though not blindingly vivid, the color they added completed the total spectrum." #blackfeminist #blackwomen #feminism #woc

"Directly comparing Johnson, Dunbar-Nelson and Grimke with male poets...would force them into a competition whose rules were formulated without them in mind...both subtle and blatant, women were penalized for their gender." #blackfeminist #blackwomen #feminism #queer #woc

"...Zora Neale Hurston used false birthdays, she was actually an additional decade older..." #blackfeminist #queer #poetry #history

Betty_Bookworm Way back in my undergrad days I took an African American Lit course and the norton anthology came with a cd of spoken word, speeches and songs. There was a recording of Zora Neale Hurston singing. Amazing. (edited) 7y

My favorite line~"most would not connect the floorboards of her porch to the roots that they remember when she sits"

I got a few books in and couldn't decide where to start. Since it's #NationalPoetryMonth, I picked the book on Harlem Renaissance and #blackwomen that write #poetry. #blackfeminist #feminism #writer.

The images at the bottom remind me of Kara Walker's silhouettes.
