Electronic Dissertations and Theses

Negative images of black females are often depicted in American fiction. Black female authors are accepting the challenge of reconstructing these negative images into more positive ones. Gloria Naylor is one of these authors who has taken on the quest of focusing on the black female in her novels. Her novels, Bailey's Cafe and Mama Day, are two of her tools used for reconstructing images of black femininity. She uses the character of Eve (Bailey's Cafe) and Mama Day (Mama Day) to depict strong, initiative women.
