Why White People Should Care: The Women's Movement and Societal Systems

What Do You Mean By That?

While women have come a long way in regards to rights and gaining positions of influence, the fight for women’s equality is still ongoing. Although, when it comes to feminism it’s easy to dismiss the fact that it’s not only a matter of sexism, but a matter of racism.
