TW: R*pe
Davis talks about slavery, racism, the women's movement, and the civil rights movement in this incredibly important must read. It was interesting to read about the movements and groups that developed in the 1800s and 1900s and thinking about how what they did affects us today. Davis wrote about some familiar topics like birth control, abortion, the Black rapist, and work. Davis portrayed the tensions between white women and Black people and their movements, how they were able to work together in some areas but couldn't in others. So informative, don't skip this one!!
