Event Description
Sister

Courtney Thorsson teaches, studies, and writes about African American literature from beginnings to present using Black feminist methods. Her new book The Sisterhood: How A Network of Black Women Writers Changed American Culture tells the story of how a remarkable community of Black women writers and intellectuals — including Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Ntozake Shange, Audre Lorde, Paule Marshall, Margo Jefferson, and others — transformed political, literary, and academic cultures.
