"It is not the intelligent woman v. the ignorant woman; nor the white woman v. the black, the brown, and the red, it is not even the cause of woman v. man. Nay, tis woman's strongest vindication for speaking that the world needs to hear her voice."
Anna Julia Cooper was an American educator, scholar, and author and one of the most prominent Black intellectuals of her time. Her book A Voice from the South is a foundational work in Black feminist thought.
