Description
The most complete record of the literary achievement of black American women, this bibliography documents the works of and works about 900 writers from Theresa Williams Abram to Sister Zubena. Chronologically spanning the output from Lucy Terry's poem of 1746 to best sellers and obscure publications of 1991, it includes such stellar figures as Phillis Wheatley, Frances E. W. Harper, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Zora Neale Hurston, Gwendolyn Brooks, Lorraine Hansberry, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, and Terry McMillan. Considerable effort has been made to seek out products of small presses and unindexed periodicals. The thousands of primary sources are complemented by thousands of secondary sources. These appear directly with each author's entry, with cross references to separate sections for "General Works" and "Anthologies." A comprehensive author index brings together primary and secondary sources.

Reviews:
-. . . Since this spans more than two centuries and because it treats many more writers than . . . much of its useful information augments bibliographic access to these creative women's works and to readers' responses to those works. . . . students of African American women writers . . . should be grateful for the timesaving guidance it offers. —Wilson Library Bulletin
-The only work that covers so vast an array of African American women writers; highly recommended for all libraries. —Choice
