DESCRIPTION:
Life Notes is the first collection devoted exclusively to writings from the journals, diaries, and personal notebooks of contemporary black women. These intensely personal testimonies illuminate the complexities of black women's lives, offering unique reflections about self, family, intimacy, work, politics, life transitions, violation, and recovery.
Life Changing Notes This book exhibits the extreme skill and insight possessed by the editor, Dr. Patricia Bell-Scott. Joining a volume of similar works, the words in this book become more than a narrative or a story. They become a way to engage your innermost thoughts and emotions and not feel alone, isolated or ashamed.This book is a source, a reference and a guide to feminist thought a. I loved this book!!!! What a wonderful opportunity to see into the lives of other African American women and to hear how they handle different life challenges and general occurences. It's rich in candor and honesty.
