The Harlem Renaissance is considered one of the premier literary periods for the creative and intellectual blossoming of African American expression. While the majority of the recognized literary and artistic contributors to this period were males, Black women-motivated yet limited by the expectations of societal roles-were also key contributors. This work of reference cites the participation of women in the Harlem Renaissance, not only those who made artistic contributions, but also those who flourished in the areas of education, activism, entertainment, entrepreneurship, and professional roles. | Black Women Of The Harlem Renaissance Era by Lean'tin L.
