Cover of Foremother Love: Phillis Wheatley and Black Feminist Criticism by Dana Murphy. The cover features A Vivid Imagination, a hand-stitched silk collage by Billie Zangewa. The piece depicts the artist herself, a Black woman, sunbathing in her garden. The figure sits in a lounge chair, wearing a dark green bikini, sunglasses, and a stylish white, collared shirt as a cover-up. Various potted plants surround her.

In "Foremother Love," Dana Murphy examines the importance of eighteenth-century poet Phillis Wheatley as a foundational figure for Black feminist criticism. Check out the intro for free on our website now! #FeministTheory #BlackStudies
