Women, Race, and Class reveals the complex ties between the anti-slavery movement and the fight for women's suffrage. Activist Angela Davis uncovers the racist and classist biases that have divided the women's movement, calling for unity in the struggle for true equality. Her message is clear: We must fight for justice together, no matter our differences. At the heart of this book lies the urgent need to confront the many-layered oppressions faced by women of color and the working class.
