Black Excellence Month: Day 7

Patricia Hill Collins
Black Feminist Social Theorist Professor
1948 - 


According to many African-American women writers, no matter how oppressed an individual woman may be, the power to save the self lies within the self. Other Black women may assist a Black woman in this journey toward personal empowerment, but the ultimate responsibility for self-definition and self-valuations lies within the individual woman herself.

-Patricia Hill Collins
