African-American Women's Feelings on Alienation from Third-Wave Feminism: A Conversation with My Sisters.

Introduction Georgia Douglass Camp Johnson (1918), an African American female poet wrote, "The heart of a woman goes forth with dawn,/ as a lovebird, soft winging, so restlessly on./ A far o'er life's turrets and vales does it roam./In the wake of those echoes the heart calls home./ The heart of a woman falls back with the night/and enters some alien cage in plight./And tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars,/while it breaks, breaks, breaks, on the sheltering bars.
