The Black Woman edited by Toni Cade

At one point at least, Toni Cade Bambara was known as Toni Cade. I was unaware of that slight difference until I came across this early edition of The Black Woman (1970) an anthology that contained different genres of writing by black women, including Nikki Giovanni, Audre Lorde, Paule Marshall, and Alice Walker.

1970 was a defining year for the publication of works by African American writers. That year alone saw the publication of major books by Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, and Alice Walker. Bambara's book contributed to the powerful, field-shaping African American literary works published during the time period.
