Radical militant feminist believes that women of color and Black women in particular have written the cutting edge theory and really were the individuals who exploded feminist theory into the directions that has made it more powerful.

In the early 1970s in Atlanta, I attended what had formerly been an all-white school but had become a black school after integration and white flight.
