THE NARDAL SISTERS, THE FORGOTTEN ONES OF THE NEGRITUDE

The mothers of Négritude

Synopsis

The Nardal sisters, Alice, Andrée, Lucy, Cécile, Émilie, and above all Paulette and Jeanne, were seven women of letters, artists, and intellectuals from Martinique.

These central figures of the black intelligentsia in Paris in the 1920s theorized about “black consciousness” and its awakening.

Despite their significant contributions to the black issue and the feminist cause, they have been forgotten by history.
