The Claims of Women of Color under Title Vii: the Interaction of Race and Gender |
26 Golden Gate University Law Review 413 (Spring, 1996) |
African-American women by virtue of our race and gender are situated within at least two systems of subordination: racism and sexism. This dual vulnerability does not simply mean that our burdens are doubled but instead, that the dynamics of racism and sexism intersect our lives to create experiences unique to us.

The Cornerstone of a New Civilization: the First International Council of Women and the Campaign for "Social Purity" |

In 1888, American suffragists organized an International Council of Women (ICW) to acknowledge the fortieth anniversary of the first woman's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. In the process, they launched a movement of international feminism that would flourish well into the twentieth century.

The Effect of Sentencing on Women, Men, the Family, and the Community |

There are two provisions in the Federal Sentencing Guidelines (Guidelines) that make no sense in the real world: one dictates that sex--along with race, national origin, and other factors--is not relevant to sentencing.
