The habit of surviving : Black women's strategies for life

In this moving book, four black women talk about their lives with unusual candor, telling the stories that make them who they are. Their voices vividly convey the costly pain and equally costly triumphs of being a woman of color in America. More than mere "success" stories of those who overcame tremendous odds in their professional and private lives, there narratives go right to the heart of racism and its price.
