Read a sample Read a sample
Black feminists remind us "that America's destiny is inseparable from how it treats [black women] and the nation ignores this truth at its peril" (The New York Review of Books).

Winner of the 2018 Lambda Literary Award for LGBTQ Nonfiction

"If Black women were free, it would mean that everyone else would have to be free." —Combahee River Collective Statement

The Combahee River Collective, a path-breaking group of radical black feminists, was one of the most important organizations to develop out of the antiracist and women's liberation movements of the 1960s and 70s. In this collection of essays and interviews edited by activist-scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, founding members of the organization and contemporary activists reflect on the legacy of its contributions to Black feminism and its impact on today's struggles.

"A striking collection that should be immediately added to the Black feminist canon." —Bitch Media

"An essential book for any feminist library." —Library Journal

"As white feminism has gained an increasing amount of coverage, there are still questions as to how black and brown women's needs are being addressed. This book, through a collection of interviews with prominent black feminists, provides some answers." —The Independent

"For feminists of all kinds, astute scholars, or anyone with a passion for social justice, How We Get Free is an invaluable work." —Ethnic and Racial Studies Journal
