I have to make a defense of the 'white' feminist movement. Please be careful who and what you demonize as completely irrelevant and harmful to you. I compltely agree that some of what the 'white' feminist movement spoke upon and urged would be in opposition that that which you seak, but the type of feminism that spoke of ending relations with men was only a part of what the feminist movements prior to today were speaking on.

The white male dominated and controlled media likes to demonize anything that runs controversy to that which it needs to enforce the hegomony that benefits the white man. This of course includes Women's liberation movements, Black liberation and Gay Rights.

If you read extensively into the many, many fronteirs and landscapes of 'white' feminism, you would find that a lot of it asks for the same things you ask for. Please do not discard what could be a wealth of information for you because of a judgemental belief that the pages of said book hold nothing of any relevance to you.

I say this as a student of Women's studies in engerland in the late 90's and please know that what I was shown, taught and read did not relate primarily to 'white' women.

Peace,

Tank
