''In refreshingly clear prose, Lisa B. Thompson renders a complex and nuanced reading of black middle-class women from both fiction and real life. This study makes an important intervention in the discourse on what has heretofore been an under-theorized subject.'' E. Patrick Johnson, author of Sweet Tea: Black Gay Men of the South ''A path-breaking, cogently argued, bold study of the ways in which black women writers and public figures have engaged, confronted, resisted, or overturned prevailing notions of black middle-class women's sexuality.'' Valerie Smith, author of Not Just Race, Not Just Gender: Black Feminist Readings
