Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the lives and writings of Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Angelina Weld Grimke, and Georgia Douglas Johnson, the author examines the overall place of women in the Harlem Renaissance, and the intersection of gender and race in their poetry. Hull chose these women not only because of their unique individualities, but because they represent black women/writers struggling against unfavorable odds to create their personal and artistic selves. She demonstrates the linkages among the three writers and how each one in turn interacted with other leading black women fiction writers such as Nella Larson and Jessie Fanset. She also examines the significance of these three women poets as literary ancestors to Gwendolyn Brooks, Mari Evans, Nikki Giovanni, Audre Lourde, and Sonia Sanchez.
