Age, Race, Class, and Sex: Women Redefining difference
One quote that really caught my attention was at the very end of the passage which was, “Change means growth, and growth can be painful. But we sharpen self-definition by exposing the self in work and struggle together with those whom we define as different from ourselves, although sharing the same goals. For Black and white, old and young, lesbian and heterosexual women alike, this can mean new paths to our survival.” It is a very powerful quote. Although it doesn’t summarize the passage it was quite an interesting quote. What I believe the main purpose of the passage was to emphasize the harshness that black women go through.

This passages main purpose was about a collective of black feminists since 1974. It was also about what they believed in, the problems they had, and projects they did.

Connection
The connection I saw was that they each had to deal with black women just in different ways.
Question
Does your race go through any struggles?
