Abstract

The paper focuses on how women’s liberation movements overlook women from minority race groups. The rise of feminism, for example, ignores the unique challenges faced by queer women and women of color. Additionally, women liberation movements do not highlight the plight of women from minority race groups, who are thought of as less feminine. For instance, feminist movements do not highlight the discrimination against black women, who tend to be assertive and confident, traits associated with masculinity. Moreover, women’s suffrage protests were subjects of criticism for segregating women based on race. The paper criticizes the women’s liberation movements take on intersectionality of race, strengthening the need to revisit their primal objectives, particularly feminist campaigns that ought to address plights for vulnerable women in society.
