About Four Women

"Four Women" is a song written by Nina Simone, released on the 1966 album Wild Is the Wind. It tells the story of four African American women and portrays four archetypal figures of Black women in the United States: Aunt Sarah, Saffronia, Sweet Thing and Peaches. It is through these Four Women that Nina Simone explores the intersecting burdens of race, gender, class, systemic oppression and generational trauma. Thulani Davis of The Village Voice called the song "an instantly accessible analysis of the damning legacy of slavery, that made iconographic the real women we knew and would become."
