The metaphors enshrined upon these pages are exciting and impressive. They are the faces of our mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, cousins and friends. Many of them are the shoulders on which we frame and are context of use for the long-ago that has ne'er been told exactly appropriate. These faces unscramble the mysteries of who we are in America and what contributions Black women have ready-made to this state.
The book is sectional into 9 sections- Family Life, Work, Hair, Resistance, Class, Education, Religion and Community, Play and Inner Life. Each of these sections consider rare, never-before-published photographs, engravings of these women in all walks of natural life. These are the tangible facets of existence for one and all in the quality family, but for Black Americans, all too normally these material possession go from a deposit of agony and incapacitated. These faces dispense confirmation to wherever we have travel from as a those. When we be trained these faces they turn one. That human face is the obverse of our people, strong, proud, spirited and unwearied.
