Abstract

AbstractSince the mid‐1800s, when the early women's movement began in the United States, Women of Colour have been marginalized by white Feminists. The ‘waves of Feminism’ frame the movement by marking changes in American history that benefit white women while excluding the diverse and unequal experiences of Non‐white women. It is necessary to re‐evaluate the history of women in America and the many ways in which Non‐white women shape the Feminist dialogue. White Feminists must be intersectional and expand their understanding of Feminism beyond the realm of gender, to include race, class, religion, sexual orientation, etc., in order for Feminism to successfully achieve its mission to transcend socio‐cultural limitations on women.
