The Meaning of Emancipation According to Black Women. What I learned: Black women after the abolition of slavery were forced to accept shit pay, 14 hr days, half Sunday off jobs as domestic workers. What Im reminded of: OFWs in domestic helper jobs in the US. What the connection makes me see: The American motive for oppression is getting the most out of labor in the cheapest way possible

Racism in the Womens Suffrage Movement. The way that progressive movements do the same thing over and over again kills me 😭 1) Nagamit sila ng mga actual political overlords, which also consequently 2) made them turn against each other and 3) dissolve their unities and 4) end up putting their labors towards getting the real political overlords to consolidate their power 😭

The Anti-Slavery Movememt and the Birth of Women's Rights. Writing quality is still top notch.
