In 'Women, Race & Class,' Angela Davis explores the deep ideological connections between racism, class bias and male supremacy, raising necessary questions about the histories of slavery and feminism. Countering assumptions within contemporary feminist thought, she shows exactly why the women's movement fails to bring about the reform it desires. “As useful an exposition of the current dilemmas of the women’s movement as one could hope for" (Los Angeles Times).
