Mao with a vagina?" She has appeared on the cover of Ms. with Editor Gloria Steinem's endorsement that "she crosses the sex/race barrier to make every reader understand the political and intimate truths of growing up black and female in America." Some blacks have also joined the acclaim. Novelist Ishmael Reed (Mumbo-Jumbo, Free-Lance Pallbearers), for example, says that Wallace has brought...
