Women, race and class

Abstract

This review presents the work of the American writer and militant Angela Davis Women, race and class (2016 – Brazilian translation). As the title points out, the work intersects women, race and class, developing discussions such as: women condition in the slavery period; link between feminist struggle and anti-slavery movement; racism and sexism; women rights and questions of race in a society of class; rape and racism; reproductive rights and; the question of domestic chore in a class perspective. Based on Marxist thought, the author approaches the three axis (women, race and class) without hierarchizing the ways of oppression and defending that the women rights and anti-slavery struggles should aim the end of the capitalism.
