From the racially unmarked tales produced by Black women activists to the political outsider memoir of a traveling hairstylist, the subjects of the essays included in this issue of Legacy challenge long-standing definitions of race literature and complicate our understanding of the scope and range of nineteenth-century Black women's literary aesthetics. Like their fellow critics gathered here in this landmark issue of Legacy, they show the viability and value in "doing" Black feminist criticism more broadly and perhaps even counterintuitively as they attend to marginalized texts in the archive.\n Although perhaps strange bedfellows with, for instance, Harper and her temperance narratives or Kelley-Hawkins and her elegant tea-time reform, the tale(s) of the twins nonetheless shares a similarity with these other texts in that their self-representational interests consistently challenge conventional, over-determined social categories and identifications.
