About the Book
While there have been great accomplishments in the area of women?s history as well as education, Darlene Clark Hine points that ?black women?s history is just beginning to emerge as a vital area within women?s and Afro American history, and much work remains to be done.? Part of the work that ?remains? both in the field of human sexuality as well as Black women?s history includes uncovering the voices of elder women who have been overlooked and undervalued. This book attempts to fill the remaining space with accounts of sexuality education and experiences as told by Black women, thereby contributing to current sex education literature by providing a glimpse into sexuality education and its resulting impact on Black women in the 1920s - 1940s. Moreover this book adds to both Black women?s sexual history and sexuality education in that it makes visible that which was once invisible. The oral histories presented here should prove helpful to Black people, young and old, as well as students, educators and researchers interested in the history of sexuality education and/or Women of Color.
