Ah Les Femmes!

Ah Les Femmes! is a study of gender and race issues, examining the tribulations, struggles and, triumphs of women living in America and focusing especially upon the experiences of black women in that country. The author, a psychiatrist first offers his reader a history of the women's rights movement and then, in a series of transcribed interviews, allows us to read in their own words the accounts of eleven very different women. These women describe in their backgrounds their struggle against poverty, sexism and, racism and their thoughts about the future. Whether she is a Madam, a welfare mother, a voodoo priestess or an Executive. Each woman has had to overcome and fight against the prejudices of others, whether these prejudices be against their color, financial situation or culture.
