Michelle Wallace: Black Macho and the Myth of the Super Woman emboss often interrogated through the lensVerso, 2015, softcover, 288 pages, 14 x 21 cm Originally published in 1978, Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman caused a storm of controversy. Michele Wallace blasted the masculine biases of the black politics that emerged from the sixties. She described how women remained marginalized by the patriarchal culture of Black Power, demonstrating the ways in which a genuine female subjectivity was blocked by the traditional myths of black womanhood.
