- Description
- The author uses the personal narratives of college-educated black women and national survey data to compare college-educated black women’s experiences of romance, reproduction, and family to those of less-educated black women and those of white and Hispanic women with degrees. She argues that educated black women’s disadvantages in romance and starting a family are consequences of a system of racial inequality and discrimination.

- Description
- Drawing from interviews and surveys of one hundred black gay women in New York City the author describes the ways that race and class have influenced how these women understand their sexual orientation, find partners and form families. In particular, the study looks at the ways in which the past experiences of women who came of age in the 1960s and 1970s shape their thinking, and have structured their lives in communities that are not always accepting their openly gay status.

- Description
- The second wave of feminism which challenged and changed many assumptions about the world in which we live was a product of various western cultures, with no single country possessing a monopoly on the writing of the texts that became the canonical statements of the 'new' feminism. Though many of the contributions to feminist scholarship that went on to become internationally significant hailed from Europe and the United States, these works were often formed within the context of local debates and framed within traditions of feminism and other political engagements specific to these nations.

- Description
- This publication discusses race and gender politics and traces the role of women in Western and non-Western political systems. The author examines the dynamics of race and gender in the United States, starting from the colonial and antebellum periods, leading up to the American Civil War and Reconstruction, through the Civil Rights era of the 1960s, to the present day. The work explores how white American women, in their search and struggle for gender equality in the United States, related to three principal streams in America's socioeconomic and political history: white supremacy, women of color-especially African American women, and the freedom and civil rights struggle for racial equality.
