Racism and Women Studies-Smith

My apologies for the late blog, there was an issue but it is not resolved!!!

I found that this article made an appropriate connection to the first assignment that we did.  The connection was made between the movie and the presentations that we made about women's rights and their right to vote.  Smith states in the beginning about how she was starting to talk about the black women studies but she decided to focus on all women's rights.  She states that she thinks that it is annoying to write about racism and the fact that it is an ongoing issue.

Smith states that there are reasons behind why the word feminism is a political theory and practice that struggles to free ALL women; women of color; working class women; poor women; disabled women; lesbians and old women.  This connects to the lesson that we first learned because it was based on the rights of all women big, small, old, young, black, white and their rights.

There is a word of professionalism that is stated in the article.  Smith states that she hates the word professionalism because she says that it gives a reason for dividing ourselves from others and escaping reality.  I find that this statement connects to the lesson that we previously learned because the upper class and the lower class can easily be divided by the amount of professional traits that these women portray.

These are the best connections I feel can be made to the lesson that we talked about with women's right to vote and the rights of all women, gender, age, sexual orientation, and economic class excluded.
