This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color

Originally published in 1981, this book is a foundational text of women of color feminism.

It features personal essays, criticism, interviews, testimonials, poetry, and visual art that reflect the complex confluence of identities systemic to women of color oppression and liberation.

The anthology challenges traditional feminist theory by highlighting the experiences and concerns of women of color, addressing issues such as racism within the feminist movement, homophobia, and classism.

It has been highly influential in shaping feminist and queer theory, and its impact continues to be felt in academic and activist communities.
