This is the 101-201 level resource that white women/white feminists NEED to read before they open their mouths on social media to talk about black womanhood in America. (I say this as a white woman) If you are someone who is legitimately ready to understand what misogynoir is and how you are probably contributing to it, read this book. It is a fast, accessible read that covers major issues black women deal with today as well as the stereotypes that fuel a lot of pop culture representations of black women as well. It's not a deep dive, but it doesn't need to be a deep dive considering how many professional writers (I'm looking at you, Alessandra Stanley) don't understand that bringing up the Angry Black Woman is a bad idea if you don't know jack about how that stereotype is still used against black women.… (plus d'informations)

This short collection of essays focuses on how Black women in the United States are maligned and held to toxic stereotypes of being oversexed, irresponsible, and irrationally angry. Winfrey Harris breaks down these stereotypes historically and in the present day, and holds up the beautiful and accomplished reality of Black women. It's very short but powerful so it's worth finding a little time to read or listen to this book.

This is a quick read, I think used in a Black Studies or Women's Studies program (or, even better, both). The author shares all the negative stereotypes of black women (angry, strong, sexy, overweight unhealthy single moms) and thoroughly dismantles them all. A number of very valuable and enlightening quotes and stories from black women are included.
