Lena Horne, Moms Mabley, Yolande DuBois, and Memphis Minnie were Black women who, despite their public profiles, discovered ways to enjoy pleasure in their public and private lives. See Me Naked looks at these women as representative of Black women who were watched, criticized, and judged by their families, peers, and, in some cases, the government. Despite the pressures of respectability, they lived extraordinary lives.
