Description:
A powerful study of the women's movement in the U.S. from abolitionist days to the present that demonstrates how it has always been hampered by the racist and classist biases of its leaders.
Description:
Longtime activist, author and political figure Angela Davis brings us this expose of the women's movement in the context of the fight for civil rights and working class issues. She uncovers a side of the fight for suffrage many of us have not heard: the intimate tie between the anti-slavery campaign and the struggle for women's suffrage. She shows how the racist and classist bias of some in the women's movement have divided its own membership. Davis' message is clear: If we ever want equality, we're gonna have to fight for it together.

WOMEN OF POWER - ALL WOMEN ESPECIALLY BLACK WOMEN SHOULD FEEL VERY PROUD OF THE KNOWLEDGE SET FORTH IN THIS BOOK. A STORY TOLD SO CLEARLY. MAKES ME WANT TO CRY.

Great Read - The author quotes a lot of notable historical figures to back her point and gives us truth that we aren't taught in school. It's a great read just for the history of black women in America, and a good starting point to delve deeper into the subject and do some research of your own. She just stated the facts and stats, and I can appreciate that. No overwording or overly bias opinions on the subject matter. I love that

The Gift of Intelligence - Not since the works of Dr. W.E.B. DuBois have I encountered such in-depth work. This book is among Davis' early publications. Although the work is scholarly, it can be read by a wide audience. Research is extensive in three separate but intertwined issues that have contributed to human disparities around the globe. A shortcoming is that Dr. Davis confined the work to United States and Western Europe and, as a result, makes ethnocentric conclusions that are not applicable to a global perspective.
