I thought the information presented in this article regarding the priorities of black women and their focus on education was revealing. On page 225, Gordon points out that “education was the single most important area of activism for black women”. It makes sense that this would be the case, but I would have guessed that issues of equality would have outranked education as the primary concern. –E Fritz | I thought the information presented in this article regarding the priorities of black women and their focus on education was revealing.

| + | It seems almost like black and white women were working towards two entirely different goals. White women were working towards recognition and forming different groups such as the YWCA. But they were either excluding these black women, or they were being excluded by society. It is hard to beleive that blacks were even being lynched in the 20th century. The push for women's rights for whites seems to be taking much greater strides than for blacks because of the intense segregation. I feel for the black women more so than white women because they were forced to go through many more difficult hardships for not only civil, but also women's rights.-afrisk | ||
