Tie Your Mother Down

"American feminism has been shaped by a legacy of racism. In a compelling and illuminating exploration of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century feminist thought, Newman explores how racial thinking distorted liberal ideals of citizenship and democracy and limited the commitments of white women to equality for all. Everyone interested in the deep-rooted and paradoxical consequences of hidden racism should read this book."

-- Alice Kessler-Harris, Rutgers University, reviewing Louise Michele Newman's "White Women's Rights: The Racial Origins of Feminism in the United States" - which, of course, you never considered before blindly going along with Feminism - but can still read about on Amazon.com.
