Women, Race & Class

Description

Ranging from the age of slavery to contemporary injustices, this groundbreaking history of race, gender and class inequality by the radical political activist Angela Davis offers an alternative view of female struggles for liberation. Tracing the intertwined histories of the abolitionist and women's suffrage movements, Davis examines the racism and class prejudice inherent in so much of white feminism, and in doing so brings to light new pioneering heroines, from field slaves to mill workers, who fought back and refused to accept the lives into which they were born. 'The power of her historical insights and the sweetness of her dream cannot be denied' The New York Times Review: Great - One of the most essential readings on feminism and class relations to race. The package came in good condition and in bubble wrap. Review: Powerful, Insightful and Essential Reading - Angela Y. Davis offers a sharp, deeply researched analysis of how race, gender, and class intersect in the history of women’s rights in America. This book challenges mainstream feminist narratives by highlighting the voices and struggles of Black women and working-class women that are often overlooked. It’s thought-provoking, educational, and still incredibly relevant. A must-read for anyone interested in intersectional feminism and social justice.
