Publisher Comments:

From its inception in California in 1974 to its highly acclaimed critical success at Joseph Papp's Public Theater and on Broadway, the Obie Award-winning for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf has excited, inspired, and transformed audiences all over the country. Passionate and fearless, Shange's words reveal what it is to be of color and female in the twentieth century. First published in 1975 when it was praised by The New Yorker for "encompassing...every feeling and experience a woman has ever had," for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf will be read and performed for generations to come. Here is the complete text, with stage directions, of a groundbreaking dramatic prose poem written in vivid and powerful language that resonates with unusual beauty in its fierce message to the world.

I think the Book novel is very excellent, alot of color woman experience different challenges in life as disappointment, far as job employment, races, sexual harrassment, and stepping up to be a strong black woman to overcome the diffulties in relationship, family, friends,Color woman has to be strong in ever way to strive in life crisis. and to believe in God almighty.
