Reclaiming Authorship : Literary Women In America, 1850- 1900

Attribution
Susan S. WilliamsPublication Details

BookUniversity of Virginia Press2005Links
Description
Given the ways in which spirituality functions in the work of such Black women writers and filmmakers as Toni Morrison, Ntozake Shange, Maya Angelou, Julie Dash, and Euzhan Palcy, Judylyn Ryan proposes in this challenging new study that what these women embrace in their narrative construction and characterization is the role and responsibility of the priestess, bearing and distributing “life-force” to sustain the community of people who read and view their work.
