Violets And Other Tales

by Alice Dunbar Nelson

English· 03:15:55· 23 chapters
This is a collection of the author's short stories and poems where she writes about the collective experience of African American women, and African Americans in general. But she is sharpest when she pushes back against the notion that women must accept and endure a subservient role to men. - Summary by James K. White
