White feminism : from the Suffragettes to influencers and who they leave behind / Koa Beck.

"Mainstream feminism has been defined by parameters dictated and sanctioned by the white, middle- to upper-class women they most benefit. In White Feminism, journalist Koa Beck details the conventions that marginalised genders have needed to adopt in order to be recognised and exposes how Black, brown, Indigenous, transgender, disabled and undocumented women have been overlooked in order to champion a different feminist narrative. Combining her quick-witted commentary with methodical historical research, Beck highlights the extent of racial prejudice, elitism and privilege that fuels the dominant feminist discourse. In her wide-ranging analysis, she advocates for a new landscape that accounts for visibility and inclusivity."-- From back cover.
