The author Gloria Naylor seeks to recover and remember the eroded history of female archetypes in order to overcome the pain that a patriarchal, misogynist society has caused for Black women. This book discusses Naylor's literary revisionism against the backdrop of a radical Black Feminist Liberation Theology and a matrifocal Africana Womanism.
