Consider Women, Race, & Class by Angela Y. Davis. Recommended by 3 sources.
“Angela Y. Davis follows U.S. women’s movements from abolition into the 20th century, showing how race and class influenced leadership, priorities, and exclusions. The writing pairs close historical episodes with forceful political argument, so familiar milestones are reframed through competing social positions. Best for readers who want historical context and a critical reframe rather than personal narrative or a how-to manual. Limitation: long stretches of dense historical detail and a consistently polemical tone can slow momentum and feel repetitive.”
