Psychology of Black Womanhood is a first textbook to provide an authoritative, jargon-free, affordable, and holistic exploration of the sociohistorical and psychological experiences of Black girls and women in the United States, while discussing the intersection of their identities. The authors included research on young, middle age, and maturing women; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer plus (LGBTQ+); women with disabilities; and women across social classes whenever available. This textbook is firmly rooted in Black feminist, womanist, and psychological frameworks that incorporate literature from related disciplines, such as sociology, Black/African American Studies, Women’s Studies, and Public Health. Psychology of Black Womanhood speaks to the psychological study of experiences of women of African descent in the United States and their experiences in the context of identity development, education, religion, body image, physical and mental health, racialized gendered violence, sex and sexuality, work, relationships, aging, motherhood, and activism. This textbook has implications for practice in counseling, social work, healthcare, education, advocacy, and policy.
