Black WomantalkBlack Womantalk was a British publishing cooperative of women of African and Asian descent founded in 1983.[1] HistoryBased in London, Black Womantalk was "set up in 1983 by a group of unemployed Black women of African and Asian descent who felt strongly about creating the space and the means for our voices to be heard."[2] Originally there were eight members, including Olivette Cole Wilson and Bernardine Evaristo. By 1989 there were three members: Cole Wilson, Da Choong, and Gabriela Pearse.[3][4] Most of Black WomanTalk's effort went into organising open readings and workshops for Black women writers.[3] They also released two anthologies of Black women's writing: a 1987 poetry anthology Black Women Talk Poetry, and a 1991 short story anthology, Don't Ask Me Why.
