Abstract: Opportunity Denied: Limiting Black Women to Devalued Work is an examination of the evolution of black womens work in the U.S. from the end of slavery into the twenty-first century. In sum, the author offers a convincing argument that black women, regardless of time and place, have been limited to the lowest rungs of occupational ladders. The status is not incidental but rather the outcome of white racism (on the part of women and men) and the intersection of employer racial and gender discrimination. Branch does not deny progress but asserts that steadfast occupational segregation by race and gender has historically defined black womens place and experience at the bottom of the labor queue and this remains unchanged in the contemporary period.
