This chapter begins with a discussion of the term third wave and how this model excludes feminists of color. It examines three texts: Lisa Jones’s collection of essays Bulletproof Diva, Joan Morgan’s essays and Veronica Chambers’s memoir Mama’s Girl. The chapter analyzes write about Black women’s relationships to Black men: biological brothers, brothers in the political sense, and fathers. Feminist activists and women’s movement historians use the “wave” model to describe the women’s movement in the United States. The wave model perpetuates the exclusion of women of color from women’s movement history and feminist theorizing. The recurring point of contention that Black women have with feminism is its impact on Black male/female relationships. The physical or emotional absence of fathers in a number of Black homes allows both Chambers and Morgan to confront Black women about the significant differences in the ways that they rear girl children and boy children.
