Black Women during the Harlem Renaissance. The decade labeled as the New Negro movement was influenced by the cultural flowering of a concentrated Harlem area and the African Americans whom of which inhabited the New York neighborhood. However it is clear that the movement was dominated by a patriarchal point of view which made it difficult for female writers to gain national attention without the endorsements of their male counterparts. Black Women illustrated the inspiration that they drew from the essence of the Renaissance into their poetic works.
