The Sisterhood chronicles how a groundbreaking community reshaped American writing and cultural institutions. Drawing on interviews, correspondence, and archival materials, Courtney Thorsson reveals how the group championed Black women writers at publishers, magazines, and in academia, often facing racist, sexist, and homophobic resistance. She examines their rise in the 1980s, the challenges of Black feminism’s integration into academia, and the legacy carried forward by younger writers. The book celebrates the organizing, networking, and community building that made The Sisterhood a lasting model for Black feminist collaboration.
