Authors

Abstract

The article argues that white feminists must learn from the experiences of women of color to build a more inclusive and effective feminist movement. It emphasizes the importance of addressing the multiple oppressions faced by women of color, including racism, sexism, and national oppression, and critiques the historical failure of the white feminist movement to support women of color.
