Many people think that it is "white" women who are trying to get frivolous equality. However, this is not what the feminism movement is nor are the white middle class women the representation of who needs to benefit from this revolution. en-us 2021-12-21 19:31:09 UTC 2021-12-21 20:23:22 UTC hello@padlet.com torresk314 https://padlet.com/torresk314/khqv2lun9m5t9us9/wish/1959409381 Angela Davis emphasizes the difference between feminism and revolution.

The NASA needed these black women mathematicians in order to save lives of astronauts. Yet they were treated as second class citizens that had to work in hostile environments to get their job done. ]]> 2021-12-21 20:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/torresk314/khqv2lun9m5t9us9/wish/1959443807 torresk314 https://padlet.com/torresk314/khqv2lun9m5t9us9/wish/1959449158 "In 2017 America, black women earn 64 cents on every dollar white men make, Hispanic women earn 54 cents, and white women make 80 cents.
