Summary
Joan Morgan offers a provocative and powerful look into the life of the modern Black woman: a complex world in which feminists often have not-so-clandestine affairs with the most sexist of men, where women who treasure their independence frequently prefer men who pick up the tab, where the deluge of babymothers and babyfathers reminds Black women who long for marriage that traditional nuclear families are a reality for less than 40 percent of the population, and where Black women are forced to make sense of a world where truth is no longer black and white but subtle, intriguing shades of gray.
Still fresh, funny, and irreverent, When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost gives voice to the most intimate thoughts of the post-civil rights, post-feminist, post-soul generation.

I would have gladly paid for this book.
This book has a thought out perspective on feminism and how black women. It gives us a look behind the curtain, to examine how black women have been kept at arms length from the movement both by their own by their own doing and by a movement that didn't see the need for their inclusion

Literally a wine night with the homegirls
I am 20 years late but this book is right on time. I loved this book so much. There were multiple times I screamed “OMG RIGHT”. What a beautiful book that is anti-academic but foundational to modern Black Womanhood. Thank you for this.
