«You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down» is Alice Walker's collection of short stories, published by Women's Press Ltd in paperback (176 pages, in English).
The fourteen stories portray oppressed Black women who refuse to give up, with an often provocative and humorous tone. They address love, desire, fame and cultural appropriation, as well as finding new lovers and reuniting with old friends, even when the colour line seems to separate them.
For readers of short fiction interested in feminist and African American literature, as well as contemporary American fiction.
