Praise for Invented Lives

"Mary Helen Washington has done more than any other single critic to expand the Afro-American and Anglo-American feminist canons."--The Women's Review of Books

"This collection is, in fact, two fine books in one: at once an anthology and a critical study."--New York Times Book Review

"The forceful, uncompromising, and distinctive voice of Mary Helen Washington brings together foremothers and daughters . . . in a volume that presents . . . a century of black women's writing along with a vital new tradition of black feminist criticism."--Marianne Hirsch, Ms. Magazine
