In Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman, Michele Wallace blasts the masculinist bias of 1960s Black politics, showing how women remained marginalised by the patriarchal culture of Black Power. She describes the ways in which traditional, male-identified myths of Black womanhood block the development of a separate female subjectivity. Wallace explores the concept of the 'Strong Black Woman' and the labels, tropes and stereotypes applied to Black women and that are perpetuated by Black men.
