Description

What does it mean to be a Black woman in America today — navigating spaces that were never designed for you, fighting for visibility in a culture that often erases you, and searching for identity in a world full of contradictions? In this New York Times bestseller, Morgan Jerkins answers with fearless, razor-sharp honesty in a collection of essays that will leave you thinking long after the last page.

Praised by Roxane Gay as the work of “a writer to be reckoned with,” This Will Be My Undoing tackles the deeply personal and fiercely political realities of existing at the intersection of race, gender, and feminism. Jerkins writes about everything from her complicated relationship with her own body and beauty standards, to the ways mainstream feminism has failed Black women, to the invisible labour of code-switching in predominantly white environments. Each essay is intimate yet universal, blending memoir, cultural criticism, and social commentary with a voice that is distinctly her own.

This isn’t a book that offers easy answers or comfortable conclusions. It’s a book that demands you sit with discomfort, examine your assumptions, and truly listen to the experiences of Black women in America. It’s bold, brilliant, and essential reading.
