Ah Les Femmes! Tribulations, Struggles and Triumphs
Summary
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 experience of black women living 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 struggles against poverty, sexism and racism and their thoughts about the future. Only when women and men strive to create a non-sexist world, will they be successful, the author emphasizes.
