history you probably didn't learn in school

Around the world Black women have led or powered major fights for justice, from anti-colonial resistance and voting rights to labor, the environment, reproductive freedom, LGBTQ liberation, and abolition. Black feminism, the understanding that racism, sexism, and other harms are tangled together, gave many of these movements their roadmap. History often erases these women or credits someone else entirely. This list is for books that highlight their radical, too-often uncredited leadership.

Recommendations from my various college programs, including undergraduate history and anthropology as well as some graduate library sciences courses. All of these books have been recommended by my professors or readings from my professors
