This article(?) is about how black women treated in mid 1900's. I think this article is related to my book which is "their eyes were watching god" because the book is about 1900's black woman.
In the article, it saids that "Legally, black women had no voice in legal matters and any abuse they faced would not be entertained by the courts.  So, they only way to deal with abusive issues was to survive them the best way they could, be it by submission..."
 This quote is important because in the story, Janie had no voice to the Logan and she got abused by him if she did not obey. Wow...
 If you have time, you should read this article because there are things that are important!
