From one of our most important scholars and civil rights activist icon, a powerful study of the women's liberation movement and the tangled knot of oppression facing Black women.

"Angela Davis is herself a woman of undeniable courage. She should be heard."--The New York Times

Angela Davis provides a powerful history of the social and political influence of whiteness and elitism in feminism, from abolitionist days to the present, and demonstrates how the racist and classist biases of its leaders inevitably hampered any collective ambitions. While Black women were aided by some activists like Sarah and Angelina Grimke and the suffrage cause found unwavering support in Frederick Douglass, many women played on the fears of white supremacists for political gain rather than take an intersectional approach to liberation. Here, Davis not only contextualizes the legacy and pitfalls of civil and women's rights activists, but also discusses Communist women, the murder of Emmitt Till, and Margaret Sanger's racism. Davis shows readers how the inequalities between Black and white women influence the contemporary issues of rape, reproductive freedom, housework and child care in this bold and indispensable work.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Angela Yvonne Davis is considered to be a distinguished social and political activist of the United States. She has made a huge contribution in the uplifting of the political and social conditions of black in the American society. She was born and brought up in Alabama by her upper middle class parents, who were also in political scene of their times. Davis has studied in New York, Frankfurt and Massachusetts, where she polished her already existing communist ideas in her mind. She started as an associate professor at the University of California in the subject of philosophy and side by side got involved in the Communist Party USA and the Black Panther Party. It was in the 1970s that Davis got in trouble with the law when one of her subject of study, a young black boy who was imprisoned, tried to escape from the jail and was found with a weapon that was claimed to have been given to him by Davis. She tried to flee the law but was caught and put in the jail until all of the charges on her were withdrawn. Davis has been a keynote speaker on the issues of feminism, condition of the prisoners in the jails of United States and the liberation of gays and lesbians at many renowned universities and institutions since that incident.

    The book itself is amazing but the cover turned up all bent and creased which is unfortunate as I was meant to be giving it as a birthday present and now I'll have to find something else for them.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nossa Nossa Nossa
    Reviewed in Brazil on 21 February 2023
    Livro de abrir os olhos, te faz pensar em vários temas e questionar mais ainda o sistemas que fomos jogados dentro. Um livro que claramente devia ser sugerido nas escolas, conta a realidade da escravidão, não apenas a historinha que nos contam na escola, as agressões causadas sobre pessoas negras e especialmente a experiência das mulheres negras durante aquela época, conta sobre a parte que as mulheres brancas tiveram durante aquela época, e chega até os dias de hoje. E te faz questionar qual será o futuro? Esse livro é genial e super recomendo, tantas coisas que nunca nem imaginei ou parei pra pensar foram mencionadas. É um livro que te faz questionar, relembrar e PENSAR. É o melhor tipo de livro.

    Reviewed in the Netherlands on 17 January 2023
    Bought this as a gift so I can't judge the book itself. The book came a bit damaged with flaws on the pages but I gave it anyway and she was happy with it :) Some people don't care that much about some damages or flaws.
