African-American Woman’s Sexuality: A Study of Georgia Douglas Johnson’s Poetic Representation

Sehee Byun (GyeongSang Nat’l Univ.)

Georgia Douglas Johnson is a best-known Black woman poet during the 1920s’ Harlem Renaissance. Cosmopolitan cities such as Harlem, NY and Washington D. C. provided black women writers with new opportunities for speaking up their creative voices in the New Negro Movement. They took an active part in progressing New Negro images and fostered their evolving sense of modern womanhood, inspiring others to challenge the social ideas of African American feminity. This study introduces Georgia Douglas Johnson’s poetic commitment to representing African-American women’s sexuality a fresh and authentic mode. In her poems black woman speakers make a bold insistence on black woman’s creative identity and reveal a modern sensibility that would emerge more fully in the course of Harlem Renaissance. Even though Jonson didn’t raise her voices directly in the protest against racial prejudices, she tried to combat the dehumanized images of black female femininity. As one of representative New Negro woman poets, Johnson made an important contribution to revising the stifling images of black women of the 1920s.
