When author Kristal Brent Zook first began writing Black Women's Lives: Stories of Power and Pain, nearly 20 years ago, the reality of so many Black women's lived experiences was still not something that was widely portrayed or discussed in mainstream media. There had been some films and some books, but a larger, nationwide reckoning with historical racism in America would not come, truly, until the summer of 2020, with the murder of George Floyd. Suddenly, ordinary citizens and activists of all ages and races came forward, crowding the streets and demanding change. Black women, too, began to receive national media attention following the police murder of Breonna Taylor and the #SayHerName social justice movement. Since then, the United States also elected its first Black president, Barack Obama, and its first Black vice president, Kamala Harris. The country has also witnessed massive political and social backlash as a result of these gains, in the form of white anger and violence.
