Document Summary
The idea that women share common goals and they need to unite together. In second wave feminism many black women did not want to self identify as feminism because these women that shared common goals in feminism were the same women that oppressed them and enslaved them. Also within the first wave, many women said they should get to vote and black men should not, so many black women did not want to be a part of feminism. Many black women feel more solidarity with black men then white women. Outsider within: black women see what goes on in white households and are even apart of it (housekeeping, nannying etc) and are part of the black community. A young black women may be more likely to be criminalized, or a person of upper class may be treated more fairly. The feminist movement second wave, acted as though it was about all women when really it was about one specific group.
