17 Wild Women Don't Wear No Blues

Bringing together fourteen African-American women, author Marita Golden has compiled saucy and spicy essays that serve as an exploration into the contemporary black female psyche.  These essays - nine of which were written expressly for this book - range in style and content from Audre Lorde's now-classic polemic on eroticism to Miriam DeCosta-Willis's moving essay about her husband to Audrey B. Chapman's hopeful "Black Men Do Feel About Love."
