“When Judy Juanita and her friends initially joined the Black Panther Party, they had more supporting functionary duties. This mirrors society’s role assignment for women into functionary positions such as admin work and office upkeep (collective). However, Huey Newton ended up appointing Judy as editor in chief of the BPP official newspaper; this symbolized an act of agency and a break through in society’s gendered role assignment. The author was valued for her revolutionary ideology rather than maintaining clerical work.”

Abortion (Or Woman As Threefold Murderess) is a book by a pro-choice writer who looks at abortion in four genres—poetry, fiction, testimony, and essays— beginning with her mother’s Depression-era decision not to abort, and traces how shame, faith, and morality shape women’s choices to abort or carry to term. The book reveals the complexities that arise for black women, black activists, and women in general.
