Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

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.

Review

"As useful an exposition of the current dilemmas of the women's movement as one could hope for."--Los Angeles Times Book Review

A must-read! Totally opened my eyes.

April 24, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I re-purchased this book after realizing that it totally shifted the way I view the world when I first read it back in 2001. Even though it's from the 1980's, Angela Davis's words are still relevant, and especially illuminating for me, as a white woman. I just really loved and appreciated this book and am excited to read it again. I also remember reading "Ain't I A Woman?" by bell hooks at that time, and recommend reading the two in tandem. Great insights from two of this country's preeminent thinkers.

Why aren't the facts in this book taught as an integral part of American history?!!!

I was shocked to learn many of the ways that black women were treated during and post slavery - extending to today. T h e history of the feminists movement as undeniably racist was a wake-up call. Thank you to the strong women of color who started and lead the intersectional book club that started with this book.

I give this book 4.5 stars which rounds up to 5.

I read this book for my Women in Politics class.

This book's central focus is intersectional feminism. It highlights how gender, race, and class factor into inequality. This book started off incredibly strong, but lost its way a bit in the later chapters. However, still a fantastic and insightful book.

This is an eye-opening book. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to begin understanding the intersection between women, race, and class, particularly as it relates to abolition and the women's suffrage movement. Davis writes in a compelling way that captures your attention.

it gave me a better understanding about the woman's struggle throughout the latter years

A well informed book, it gave me a better understanding about the woman's struggle throughout the latter years, I can now related it to the present and see why and how things are for the Afrocentric woman more so. Each chapter was so well put together. I had to write a research paper on an author who made a social change, so I chose Angela Davis and I must say that I never regretted my choice. This book is a keeper and it is a must read. I truly enjoyed reading each page from the beginning to the end.

A thorough, incisive, well documented and elegantly written scholarly work. Anyone seeking to understand the great movements against three societal evils - racism, sexism, and economic oppression - will find insight and inspiration here.

Great book with unexpected bonus!

June 6, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I didn't notice when I was buying this that it was a signed copy. What a happy surprise! Aside from the author's signature on the title page (swoon!), the book was in excellent condition. And the essays are great—they have aged really well in most cases, and are particularly relevant to today's conversations about intersectional feminism and the effects and concerns of BLM. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in feminism, race, class (all those things in the title) as well as American history. It is very accessible and readable and offered new insight on topics I thought I knew a lot about.

A must-read book.

September 2, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a well researched, and well constructed piece of writing that put a great intersectional perspective on historical events. It gave the opportunity to see the way in which different sides were affected by the abolitionist movement, the women's suffrage movement, etc., and the way in which those involved interacted.
