“I was waiting for an author who wouldn’t forget, ignore, or erase us black girls as they told their own story and that of the race and the nation. She has come—in Brittney Cooper.” 
Melissa Harris Perry 

Brittney Cooper is an assistant professor in the Departments of Women and Gender Studies and Africana Studies at Rutgers. Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower is her third book.

Eloquent Rage was listed as a Best Book of 2018 by The New York Public Library, Mashable, The Atlantic, Bustle, The Root, NPR, and Fast Company.
