A Voice from the South by Anna J. Cooper

"A Voice from the South" by Anna J. Cooper is a collection of essays published in 1892. Recognized as one of the first full-length Black feminist texts, this groundbreaking work argues that educating Black women is essential to uplifting the entire African-American community. Through eight essays divided into two parts, Cooper addresses race, gender, education, and the church, while challenging both racism and sexism. She critiques male-dominated institutions and advocates for female intellectuals, asserting that true progress requires equality between the sexes and the empowerment of marginalized Black women in the South.
