The next part of the book focuses on abolition campaigns, like Seneca Falls in 1848, headed by the powerful white voices of the era. On the contrary, there were problems only Black women faced throughout slavery, like sexual violence. In Davis’ introduction, she makes the point that black women are strong because they were born into the legacy of slavery, a system that forced black women into a position of “equal” oppression, with domestic and manual labor. Women, Race, & Class by Angela Davis is a work that describes the never-ending cycle of the triple-blind of Black American women: race, sex, and class, which trap them in positions that mimic slavery. ![]()
