Linnea’s Reviews > The Trouble with White Women: A Counterhistory of Feminism > Status Update

“When white women are confronted with the possibility they can be perpetrators, and not only victims, of oppressive actions and they burst out crying, antiracist work grinds to a halt. A white woman sobs, and the room falls to her feet. These tears…cleanse the sufferer of any past wrongs and invest her with a martyred authority flowing from the realm of allegedly indisputable truth: her own hurt feelings.”

“White feminist objectives work to liberate privileged women while keeping other structures of injustice intact.”

Right out of the gate, this is shaping up to be good.
