"Black Femalehood and the Principles of Existence in Practice conceptually frames the complex trajectory of Black femalehood, including contributions and triumphs, methods of resistance, ways of coping, as well as the impacts of external forces on their physical and psychological wellness. The book scrutinises the work of selected female figures and their modes of resistance, including the warriors of the Haitian Revolution, to Ida B. Wells and academic female writers. From battlefield combats to daily struggles for survival, it illustrates how the battles in which Black females have been compelled to engage have cost them physical, emotional and psychological distress, well into the twenty-first century. This volume will be of use to upper-level undergraduate students as well as graduate students studying Gender Studies, Sociology, Black Studies and Politics"--
