The Women of Brewster Place is a true reflection of black females trying to survive a world that don’t care much for them.  Very sad. And also how a black females best ally, but also the enemy, are other black females.  The story was interesting, but it jumps around a lot between scenes, time, and people, which I did not like.  It would have been nice to get the complete story instead of filling in the gaps myself.  And there are a lot of characters to keep track of.  At times, I was lost.  I remember seeing and enjoying the movie decades ago.  Overall, a good short story.
