A work of feminism written in 1981 still sadly recent and fresh. It explores the complexities of living in the US as a black woman. A quite solid and enlightening examination of the convergence of racism and sexism in major political and social movements throughout the American History.
It explores how the patriarchal social order perpetuates violence and hatred between black men and women; how the American feminist movement cannot fight against the patriarchy unless it sheds its racism.
