    Feminism at stake
    (university of Oum-El-Bouaghi, 2014) Bradja, Asma; Koussa, Toufik
    The thesis tends to investigate the representation of black women in Lenora Adams' Baby Girl. Instead of having chapters, the book is written of three long letters, through which Lenora Adams, the black writer, and with its protagonist Sheree tends to demonstrate her feminist perspectives and points of view. The main objective of this thesis goes on with the same objective of Adams. It will show how a twenty first century's black girl is trying to adapt with the challenges that she is going through, and how she tries to make her decisions and reactions according to the different circumstances. It will reveal how Adams has dealt with subjects as coming of age, finding identity, friendship, love, drugs, gaining respect, responsibility, social classes, and racial differences. From a black feminist perspective, Adams has dealt with Sheree's life experiences and main problems as being used for money, using drugs, getting pregnant. Sheree was a very strong girl who went through many trials and tribulations throughout her life especially with the lack of father's authority. Through Sheree's experiences, Adams has challenged the notion of being different, which means being inferior, non-civilized, and underdeveloped that the old American oppressive system has left upon the american society.
