Longtime activist, author and political figure Angela Davis brings us this expose of the women's movement in the context of the fight for civil rights and working class issues. She uncovers a side of the fight for suffrage many of us have not heard: the intimate tie between the anti-slavery campaign and the struggle for women's suffrage. She shows how the racist and classist bias of some in the women's movement have divided its own membership. Davis' message is clear: If we ever want equality, we're gonna have to fight for it together.

El nombre no engaña: trata asuntos de mujeres, clase sociales y raza, haciendo un repaso por la historia de estas cuestiones en los Estados Unidos (y un poco de Europa) en los siglos XIX y XX, con citas a muchísimos documentos (casi 700 referencias) y menciones a feministas destacadas y para mí desconocidas. Absolutamente espectacular e imprescindible, lo acabo de terminar y ya pienso en darle otra vuelta de aquí a un tiempo para paladear mejor algunos capítulos.
