If like me you are trying to read more diverse feminist literature, then this is a must-read to add to your list.

« Black and Female » it’s a collection of three essays by author, playwright, and film-maker Tsitsi Dangarembga. In these three enlightening and heartfelt essays she explores her relationships towards race and gender, covering different aspects of her own experience.

She explores her traumatic memories of life with a foster family, then the difficulties of being a young female Zimbabwean published author, and exposes how the intersection of history, gender, and race affect not only her life but those of many others, in a very tangible way. 

With this book, she gives us a perfect balance between personal experience and general analysis of today's society and the legacy of colonialism. It is short but stirring, and the proof you do not need to write a 500 pages essay to hit your target. I would say short but (more than) effective.
