In those days, women didn’t have their rights and wasn’t respected. They were just like men’s accessories. The black women made contributions to the United States, and the society had never stopped enjoying the benefits made by them. But as a black woman, no matter how smart she is, how much ability she has, and how beautiful she is, she also can’t be accepted easily by the white society. They are still discriminated and crashed by people’s old prejudicial ideas, and are ruled by the world of the white people. The old idea holds that if a black woman is strong, she is not beautiful, and even can not be regarded as a woman; but if she does a servant work, preparing food and setting a kid to go to school, she must be stupid.
