Greek Sacrificial Ritual, Olympian and Chthonian Proceedings of the Sixth International Semi... Book

Quite possibly one of the most important books I’ve read concerning women’s studies. For over a hundred years the black woman has had to deal with the double whammy of being both a woman and black. The passages on rape and lynching made me sick to my stomach as it would any one with any heart at all. It took a long time for me to get through this book, not because it was dull, but because it had me thinking, it hurt my heart, it forced me to look outside of myself and my experience. I really think this book should be read by everyone. Maybe then we could see each other instead of color.
