Womanish: A Grown Black Woman Speaks on Love and Life: Jacaranda
Autor Kim McLarinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2019
In Womanish, McLarin explores how being both black and female - not to mention middle-aged - complicates everything from dating to parenting to mental health to race relations, and how one woman responds to those challenges. Powerful and timely, McLarin's essays draw upon a lifetime of experiences to paint a personal and societal portrait of what it means to be black and female in contemporary America.

Recenzii
Full of feeling and absorbing incident, Kim McLarin's Womanish is a companion book for searchers of the soul. In the tradition of James Baldwin, Alice Walker, and Henry Thoreau, McLarin's essays reveal an original mind in action and set to take action. Read Womanish to be inspired, to get angry, and to learn to hold and use that anger in our incendiary times.
McLarin gathers forthright essays reflecting on love, friendship, motherhood, and, above all, overt and "thinly-veiled" expressions of racism. In her candid title essay, she considers her transition from girlhood to womanhood, the female body, and her experiences of midlife online dating, where misogyny was apparent--misogyny, like racism, rooted in fear. Bold, well-crafted essays on living, loving, and striving while black.
Womanish is the education the United States needs but doesn't deserve. Not only has McLarin done the homework, she's created an elegant cheat sheet in the form of thirteen perfect essays.
