A Voice from the South: By a Black Woman of the South is the first book by American author, educator, and activist Anna J. Cooper. First published in 1892, the book is widely viewed as one of the first articulations of Black feminism. The book is divided into two parts, "Soprano Obligato" and "Tutti Ad Libitum". Each section contains four individual essays. This book led to the term "Cooperian" being coined when speaking about Anna J. Cooper. It is considered one of the first, full-length Black feminist texts.
