Abstract
Black feminist perspective pervades contemporary African-American literature. Happily, the perspective governs the aesthetic and the aesthetic informs the landscape and the vision. The status of the black women writers is no longer relegated below the status of the males. Instead of being secondary to the literary dominance of black males, the literature of black women is expansive and, what is more, liberating. Unlike in the past when women were supposed to be seen but not heard, the women of today are recognized writers in all fields and genres.
