Nonfiction books with personal narratives about survivorhood.

I believe you. You are not alone.

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.

Exclusive to non-fiction titles. Recommendations are more than welcome, especially from outside the mainland United States.
