- Description
- Roth investigated the reason why very few women of colour belonged to the feminist organisations. Roth explains that although Black and Chicana women shared a common interest in feminism with white women during the 1960's and 1970's, they pursued it apart from white women because of their distinct histories and cultures. The three groups of women that Roth researched differed not only on a socio-economic level, but also in the way that they organised their movements and in the ideologies that they embraced. She also noted that Black and Chicana women were inclined to link their cause for gender equality with demands for racial and ethnic parity.
