This book digs into the many shifting ways white women have used their image of being "damsels in distress" order to protect white supremacy and their power over women of color throughout history.
The author is Australian, so while much of the book focuses on American racial issues, there is a wider global perspective many books like this don't have, and it covers the oppression of all racialized people, not just Black Americans.
There are a few ideas at the end of the book that I wish were given more page time, but that's the only quibble I have, that I wish it was longer.
