The history of modern Black Feminism is unimaginable without the courage, words, and insights of Michele Wallace.  From her 1978 memoir/manifesto, Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman, through her brilliant cultural criticism of the last quarter century, she has always written with extraordinary honesty, intelligence and beauty.  This event is a great chance to hear her in person, as she continues to consider and reconsider the conditions of black women’s lives and the importance of their artistic contributions. — Ellen DuBois, Professor in the Department of History at UCLA
