WOMEN, RACE AND CLASS by Angela Y. Davis

Why we’re giving away this book:

This book studies the women’s liberation movement from slavery to the early 80s, and the intersection of race, class and gender in the fight for basic human rights. It’s an urgent work of nonfiction, as Davis uses research and criticism to expose our past like only she can.

Davis has been polarized by the media, but at her core she’s a scholar and historian who just puts facts on the page that are difficult for us to confront. 

WOMEN, RACE AND CLASS reads as a new perspective on a story many of us know, and outlines key moments where people were left out or left behind. I recommend it for anyone who wants to go a layer deeper—because until we understand the complexity of the fight for progress and the places where we’ve fallen short, we’ll never truly be able to move forward.
