"Today a black woman can be anything from an astronaut to a talk-show host, run anything from a corporation to an Ivy League university....Is this new black woman finally crashing through the double ceiling of race and gender? Or is she leaping into treacherous waters that will leave her stranded, unfulfilled, childless and alone?" (NEWSWEEK) This article addresses how black women in America today have progressed further than ever before but still face dilemmas, most notably the educational-achievement gap and the fact that "black men and women are, increasingly, following different paths."
