That feeling of belonging remains with readers the  rest of their lives - but not everyone regularly sees themselves  reflected on the pages of a book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this timely anthology, Glory  Edim, founder of the online community, Well-Read Black Girl, brings  together original essays by some of America's best black women writers  to shine a light on how important it is that we all - regardless of  gender, race, religion, or ability - have the opportunity to find  ourselves in literature.      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether it's learning about the  complexities of femalehood from Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison,  finding a new type of love in \u003ci\u003eThe Color Purple\u003c\/i\u003e, or using  mythology to craft an alternative black future, each essay reminds us  why we turn to books in times of both struggle and relaxation. Here, Edim has created a  space where black women's writing, knowledge and life experiences are  lifted up, to be shared with all readers who value the power of a story  to help us understand the world, and ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40789129560161,"sku":"9781409189282","price":8.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/stand_12972057_jpg.jpg?v=1706932036","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781409189282-well-read-black-girl","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
