Description
Angela Davis examines the complex relationships between women, racism, and class in this powerful study of the women's liberation movement. Davis argues that the biases of its leaders, rooted in whiteness and elitism, have hindered collective ambitions and created inequalities between Black and white women. The author contextualizes the legacy and pitfalls of civil and women's rights activists, discussing the role of Communist women, the murder of Emmitt Till, and the racism of Margaret Sanger. Davis shows how these issues continue to influence contemporary debates around rape, reproductive freedom, housework, and child care. This book offers a bold and indispensable analysis of the intersectional approach to liberation, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of the social and political forces that shape women's lives.
