ABSTRACT

Gloria Watkins is the focus of a great deal of controversy, criticism, praise and curiosity by nearly all sectors of the Yale community. As she herself explains in the interview, she likes to challenge-both others and herself. The author felt so hurt that, on the basis of their analysis of this book, people would begin to just make these incredible statements about she as a person. And so the auhtor had to say to people that they would have to take a minute and examine how we're interacting here because every time the topic of black women comes up, we switch it to something else. The author means, on a panel recently with two women who were not committed to feminism-this made such a difference in how we dealt with each other as women and how the discussion went. But the author do not think that means that we're going to stop resisting that system.
