Valentine's only book, built from his well-known lecture series, examines the physical, emotional, and metaphysical injuries he argues have been inflicted on Black women's reproductive health and womanhood under white supremacy. It links health, history, and spirituality, and helped inspire the "Sacred Woman" philosophy later popularized by Queen Afua. Copies are scarce, and the book circulates mainly through Valentine's lectures and recordings.
Author: Dr. Phillip (Phil) Valentine
