| Summary | "The Colored Girl Beautiful" by E. Azalia Hackley is a collection of inspirational talks aimed at colored women, compiled in the early 20th century. This work encourages empowerment, self-care, and pride among young women of color, emphasizing the importance of inner beauty, self-control, and the cultivation of positive qualities. The talks are direct and personal, reflecting the author's belief in the potential of colored women to advance both themselves and their race. The opening of the book sets the stage for a series of motivational addresses delivered to girls at colored boarding schools, such as the Tuskegee Institute. Hackley introduces the first talk with reflections on love and beauty, inviting the girls to engage in discussion and share their thoughts. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing and celebrating their unique gifts, such as beautiful eyes, hair, and voices, while also encouraging them to develop their self-esteem and personal appearance. The underlying message reinforces the idea that beauty goes beyond physical attributes, calling for an understanding of self-worth and the impact of personal choices on overall identity and future prospects.
