Ranging from the age of slavery to contemporary injustices, this groundbreaking history of race, gender and class inequality by the radical political activist Angela Davis offers an alternative view of female struggles for liberation. Tracing the intertwined histories of the abolitionist and women's suffrage movements, Davis examines the racism and class prejudice inherent in so much of white feminism, and in doing so brings to light new pioneering heroines, from field slaves to mill workers, who fought back and refused to accept the lives into which they were born. 'The power of her historical insights and the sweetness of her dream cannot be denied' The New York Times Review: Great - One of the most essential readings on feminism and class relations to race. The package came in good condition and in bubble wrap. Review: Powerful, Insightful and Essential Reading - Angela Y. Davis offers a sharp, deeply researched analysis of how race, gender, and class intersect in the history of women’s rights in America. This book challenges mainstream feminist narratives by highlighting the voices and struggles of Black women and working-class women that are often overlooked. It’s thought-provoking, educational, and still incredibly relevant. A must-read for anyone interested in intersectional feminism and social justice.

Capitalism Loves Patriarchy
This book is a great critique of Bourgeois Feminism. Working-class women must not rely on bourgeois women for emancipation.

Came damaged but turned out alright
Bought this as a gift so I can't judge the book itself. The book came a bit damaged with flaws on the pages but I gave it anyway and she was happy with it :) Some people don't care that much about some damages or flaws.

'An Excellent, Well Written Book By Professor Angela Y. Davis!'
The Book is well-written by Professor Angela Y. Davis and she discusses about what women (especially African-American women) went through, from past to present. Professor Davis touched on a lot of controversial subjects like racism, slavery and feminism and I feel that some things haven't changed much even though it is the twenty-first century. I feel that African-American women are still being treated as slaves and of course they are still earning less than what the Caucasian women and men make when it comes to work as well as getting an education. Racism still exists not only in the USA but Canada and many parts of the world; it took me a week to read the book and I learned a lot of what African-American women went through and as a Black Jamaican woman I never learned the history of African-Americans in school. I learned about African-Americans during 'Black History Month' as well as reading books about it. Race relations in the world today have to improve if we want to co-exist with one another.
