She learns early on the roles women and men play in society, as well as the emotional vulnerability of children. She sheds new light on a society that beholds the joys of marriage for men and condemns anything more than silence for women. In this world, too, black is a woman's color--worn when earned--daughters and daddies are strangers under the same roof, and crying children are often given something to cry about. hooks finds comfort in solitude, good company in books. She also discovers, in the motionless body of misunderstanding, that writing is her most vital breath.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Bone Black is a lucid, challenging, and entrancing read." --<i>The Washington Post Book World</i> <p/>"With the emotion of poetry, the narrative of a novel, and the truth of experience, Bell Hooks weaves a girlhood memoir you won't be able to put down--or forget. <i> Bone Black</i> takes us into the cave of self-creation." --<i>Gloria Steinem</i> <p/>"A canvas of vividly impressionistic splashes of growing up young, gifted, black, and female." --<i>The Philadelphia Inquirer</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>bell hooks</b> (Gloria Jean Watkins, 1952-2021) was a pioneering feminist whose writings revealed how the specific life experiences of Black women were marginalized by the idea that feminism represented all women equally.
