Black Macho and the Myth of the Super-Woman

This important book was one of the first to document (with passion and specific examples) the significant degree of sexism in the African-American community. During the Civil Rights Movement, black women did “an inordinate amount of typing, coffee making, housework … we did the same work as men - organizing around voter registration and community issues in rural areas — usually with men. But when we finally got back to some town where we could relax and go out, the men went out with [white] women.”
