- Description
- This book presents one woman's story of her life viewed through the lenses of gender, class, and race. Rothenberg examines the ways, both positive and negative, in which these three factors have shaped her experiences and opportunities. The purpose of this self-examination of privilege is to 'uncover the forces that often render it invisible to those who benefit from it most'. By turning the microscope on herself, she hopes to explore the unspoken privileges of the white middle class in the United States.
