"Woman, Race, & Class" is a seminal work by Angela Davis, an influential scholar, activist, and author. Published in 1981, the book is a critical examination of the women's movement in the United States, with a specific focus on the intersections of gender, race, and class. Davis critiques the mainstream feminist movement for its failure to address the specific needs and experiences of women of color and working-class women.
Here are a few key points from the book:
Intersectionality: One of the central themes of Davis's book is the idea of intersectionality, which considers how different forms of oppression—like sexism, racism, and classism—overlap and interact with each other. Davis argues that mainstream feminism, which was largely led by white, middle-class women, often failed to take into account the unique challenges faced by women who were also marginalized by race or class.
History of Women's Rights Movement: Davis gives a historical account of the women's rights movement, noting that racial divisions were present from the start. For example, she discusses how early suffragettes sometimes used racist rhetoric and ignored the needs of Black women in their pursuit of voting rights for women.
Abolitionism and Feminism: Davis also delves into the relationship between the abolitionist movement and the early feminist movement in the United States. She talks about how Black women like Sojourner Truth played critical roles in both movements.
Labor Movement and Feminism: The book looks at the role of working-class women in the labor movement and critiques mainstream feminism for not adequately addressing issues of economic justice.
Reproductive Rights: Davis provides a critique of the mainstream women's movement's approach to reproductive rights, arguing that it has often been racially insensitive. She discusses how issues like forced sterilization have disproportionately affected women of color.
In sum, "Woman, Race, & Class" offers a comprehensive critique of the mainstream women's movement from a perspective that takes into account racial and economic justice. Angela Davis calls for a more inclusive and intersectional feminism that represents all women.

that might be the move honestly, funny i didn't consider it. i've managed to get myself to listen to podcasts, so audiobooks are probably the next logical step
