Black women writers and scholars have been engaged in the process of repairing and restoring history especially as it documents the experiences of Black women in America. They restore the historical record by centering women and women?s stories in their poetry and fiction. These stores repair decades, if not centuries, of damage and erasure throughout American literary history. ?Womb work? is one way of framing these reparative and restorative writing processes that includes both the writers of these works and the audiences/readers that engage the work. Womb Work argues that Black women?s stories are essential to advancing a more comprehensive and critical understanding of American literary history. ?Womb work? requires an interdisciplinary approach to Black women?s literature through the lenses of the medical/health humanities.
