“They don’t think I’m viable, because I’m a Black woman with natural hair and no husband.” This comment was made by Stacey Abrams shortly before the 2018 Democratic primary after she became the first Black woman to win a majory party’s nomination for governor. Abrams’ sentiment reflects the wider environment for Black women in politics, in which racist and sexist cultural ideas have long led Black women to be demeaned and fetishized for their physical appearance.

In Sister Style, Nadia E. Brown and Danielle Casarez Lemi argue that Black women’s political experience and the way that voters evaluate them is shaped overtly by their skin tone and hair texture, with hair being a particular point of scrutiny. They ask what the politics of appearance for Black women mean for Black women politicians and Black voters, and how expectations about self-presentation differ for Black women versus Black men, White men, and White women.
