Synopsis:

The essays in this book weave together the varied strands of experience that contribute to a feminist activist life. The essays touch on many topics: her coming out to her family at a movie theatre; learning to swim; her father's elegance; the bond between Blacks and Jews; the influence of writer Lorraine Hansberry; the image of Black women in photography (with family pictures) and the nature of being a recovering Catholic. The Library Journal said: "In these discussions Gomez delves astutely into the areas of literature, advertising, comedy, music drama, religion and politics. Gomez's words flow with an ease, honesty and intellect that is mesmerizing."
