Synopsis
In a tribute to the unheard and often not understood Negro women of the south, Josephine Carson explores the lives of women with whom she lived, and interprets the voices that had been silenced for so long. She paints a detailed picture of the teachers, middle-class housewives, young college girls, nurses, domestic servants, and workers who struggled with the juxtaposition between their own identities and those societies created for them. Carson shows what a significant contribution each made to the American Scene and how these women had their futures, religions, friends, jobs, and culture -- but above all, they had a voice.
