Publisher Notes
The stories of seven Black women living in an urban ghetto evoke the energy, brutality, compassion, and desolation of modern Black America.
Media Reviews
"While 'The Women of Brewster Place' is about the black woman's condition in America, I had to deal with the fact that one composite picture couldn't do justice to the complexity of black female experience. So I tried to solve this problem by creating a microcosm on a dead-end street and devoting each chapter to a different woman's life."
First Line
Brewster Place was the bastard child of several clandestine meetings between the alderman of the 6th District and the managing director of Unico Realty Company.
