anti-racist awareness and activism. Knowledge of this aspect of the feminist tradition can be helpful and empowering for young women trying to create a new kind of women’s movement. example

I want to end with one final dimension of contemporary scholarship in the history of US women, less developed than gender and race but very promising for the future: the internationalization of this field.

International awareness among American feminists is not a new phenomenon.
