Abstract: Black women have long recognized the spe-cial circumstances of our lives in the United
States: the commonalities that we share with all
women, as well as the bonds that connect us to
the men of our race. We have also realized that
the interactive oppressions that circumscribe
our lives provide a distinctive context for black
womanhood. For us, the notion of double jeopardy is not a new one. Near the end of the nineteenth century, Anna Julia Cooper, who was born
a slave and later became an educator and earned a
Ph.D., often spoke and wrote of the double enslavement of black women and of our being “confronted by both a woman question and a race
problem.”1 In 1904, Mary Church Terrell, the first
president of the National Association of Colored
Women, wrote, “Not only are colored women . . .
handicapped on account of their sex, but they are
almost everywhere baffled and mocked because
of their race. Not only because they are women,
but because they are colored women.”2
