Every time I finish writing a chapter, something more comes to mind that I must add. I just finished the chapter on ambition and this is definitely being added, from Feminism Unfinished: A Short Surprising History of American Women’s Movements
“We cannot expect poor women feeding their families on food stamps to have the same priorities as female lawyers hoping to become partners in law firms. We cannot expect working-class women concerned with getting paid sick leave to have the same priorities as college professors.”
”We cannot expect women who face both sex discrimination and race discrimination to develop the same priorities as women who face only sex discrimination.”
“Some feminists prioritized women’s right to take employment on an equal basis with men, while others asked for greater respect and support for women’s unpaid domestic labor - not to mention the majority of feminists who wanted both.“
