Angela Davis is one of the greatest minds of the 20th century. Her writing style is so articulate here in this book. I'd recommend this book to anybody who wants to learn about the interconnection between racism, sexism, and class structure. It challenges you (the reader) to understand (historically) how black women have always been at the forefront of civil rights and women's rights from the beginnings of slavery, abolitionism to women's liberation of the 60s and 70s. Reading this book (especially if you're a white woman) will hopefully explain why black women to this day still face racism and misogyny.
