even today...as far as we've gotten....even tho honestly we still got a ways to go...

I agree with you on that...we have a LOOOOONG way to go. As does anything that wants to advance in society. In order for any type of operation to be effective, everyone must be for the cause. So that means any woman that is bout her business needs to button up that blouse, pull down that skirt, and show off her greatest asset: her brains!

This reminds me of a friend I had, educated, pretty and her dream was to find a good, rich man and be a housewife..like that's what she wanted for the rest of her life!! Buy Gucci and wear diamonds. If we can get people out of that shallow state of mind, then maybe women can get futher in the social ladder. As far as being Black women, in society we are double minorities so it's twice as hard...but if you about yours, then nothing like gender and/or race get in the way cuz ur will & determination should be above and beyond those phoney labels.

For a good feminism book, read anything by Rebecca Walker (daughter of Alice Walker)
