The Sisterhood

In "The Sisterhood," Courtney Thorsson recounts the inspiring story of a gathering in February 1977, where Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Ntozake Shange, and other Black women writers formed a community dedicated to discussing literature and liberation. Over two years, this influential group met monthly, leaving a lasting impact on American writing and cultural institutions. Thorsson explores their collaborative efforts, the advocacy for Black women writers, and the complex dynamics leading to their eventual dissolution, while highlighting the legacy they established for future generations of Black feminists.
