The last sentence of this essay sums up her argument well. "The study of women of color requires us to reexamine, challenge, and change those structures. Only then will we decolonize western history." Castañeda points out how women's history can easily fall into the same error as "traditional" history does by focusing on one specific sub-group within women's history, in this case middle-class white women. Studying women of color places the historian at intersect that challenges both gender and racial studies. --[[User:Shauser|Shauser]] 19:48, 26 August 2009 (MDT)
