AbstractBlack women and the concept of Black Feminism stems from the continual exclusion of Black women from the American women's movement. Throughout the suffrage movement, the fight was for white women. Although some black women did take part in the movement, they were few in comparison due to not only the issue of class, but also race. Race and class have been the two contributing factors that continue to separate the women's movement all the way into the Second Wave beginning in the 1960s and into the 1970s. Black women have been torn between their identities, having to choose between race or gender.
