The New Nation, a weekly black newspaper published in Britain is celebrating their new women’s supplement launch, The F Word today.
The newspaper has revealed in this week’s issue (out today) the 50 most powerful and influential black women in Britain; in order to commemorate the launch.
The list features women from the varied fields of politics, business, entertainment, law, sport, music and medicine.
One of the Britain’s first black female judges, Constance Briscoe appears in the list. She is also well known for her powerful and critically acclaimed autobiography, Ugly which documents her life of child abuse and was an instant bestseller.
The first black female newsreader, Moira Stuart is also on the list. She regularly features on BBC television channels and is one of Britains "best-loved TV personalities".
Grammy-nominated group Floetry, who have conquered the US music industry (which very few British artists have been able to do) also appear on the list.
Sociologists such as black feminist Bell Hooks have described black women as being likely to suffer dual discrimination because of their ethnicity and sex. In some cases black women may suffer triple discrimination when class as well as ethnicity and sex are considered. Bell Hooks has written many books on race and representation, click here to view a selection.
I personally have found that black women, in fact ethnic minority women in general do not appear to have a voice and are rarely featured in British media and when they are it tends to be for negative reasons. So it is nice to see 50 black women receive positive recognition.
