If the reading is on a women in American History then I think it does fit in this article. Black women are a part of American history no matter through a white person's point of of view or what class status they had. I do agree that the feminist movement would have mostly been white upper middle class but I also think that black women and white women each had their own social classes. I agree with Alexander that we should have scholars analyze the history of a black woman through their own eyes even though we know in the past that was not so easy. -Marsha Himes | If the reading is on a women in American History then I think it does fit in this article.

| + | In Leslie Alexander's article, I was interested in the comments made about black women and their role in women's history. I had never really given much thought to the idea, but realized after reading that they do not appear to be a huge part in women's history; historians and people interested in history may just assume that this group of women are included butit may be important to have a bit more focus. Historians may want to homogenize them but in reality they do have a separate history to that of white women. -Amy Van Ness | ||
