Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 6 page report discusses issues of self-esteem as related to
Black women and makes the conclusion that, collectively, adult
Black women have been ignored in the ongoing research into one
determines a person’s sense of themselves and their own degree of
self-esteem. This is of particular irony since the color of a
person’s skin has been shown, throughout history and social
science, to have an impact on a person’s self-esteem since it
biases other’s perceptions and how those others communicate their
own attitudes. Add that factor to self-esteem issues that all
American women have and the African American woman is faced with
the proverbial “double-whammy.” Bibliography lists 6 sources.

still others report higher levels of self-esteem for Black women relative to White women. Many studies include additional factors such as health condition, physical well-being and illness, religious versus non-religious,
even post-abortion self esteem. What is more valid and more valuable is an effort to understand the self-esteem of Black women independent of comparison to women of other races or
in terms of other, extraneous issues. Instead, comparing Black women to Black women can result in a greater understanding of the unique issues and concerns that present themselves throughout the
life of Black women individually and collectively. The "Core" of Self-Esteem and Black Women Quatman and Watson (2001) emphasize that self-esteem is "associated with a number of important psychological phenomena,
