    About this ebook

    Get the Summary of Kyla Schuller's The Trouble with White Women in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: In The Trouble with White Women, Schuller brings to life the two-hundred-year counter history of Black, Indigenous, Latina, poor, queer, and trans women pushing back against white feminists and uniting to dismantle systemic injustice. These feminist heroes such as Frances Harper, Harriet Jacobs, and Pauli Murray have created an anti-racist feminism for all. But we don’t speak their names and we don’t know their legacies. Unaware of these intersectional leaders, feminists have been led down the same dead-end alleys generation after generation, often working within the structures of racism, capitalism, homophobia, and transphobia rather than against them.

      Insights from Chapter 1

      #1

      The Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 was the first public event devoted to women’s rights. It was a small gathering in a New York church, but it opened the door for future activism.

      #2

      The Seneca Falls Convention was a meeting organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Amelia Bloomer in 1848 to address the inequalities between men and women.

      #3

      During the fight to get the Fifteenth Amendment passed, many white women opposed it because they felt it would give Black men more rights than them.

      #4

      The alliance of the American Equal Rights Association was torn apart when Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony created the National Woman Suffrage Association to support the Fifteenth Amendment, which granted black men the right to vote, but did not extend that right to women.

      #5

      White women, like Anthony, could be helpful or dangerous to the cause. While many white women idealized their moral purity and supposed independence from the world of politics and business, they benefited from the systems of slavery and colonialism nonetheless.

      #6

      The AERA split into two factions, one led by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and the other by Margaret Sanger and Victoria Woodhull. The latter were known as the Woman’s Rights faction, while the former were known as the Equal Rights faction.

      #7

      Both Stanton and Harper had privileged upbringings, but they both went on to become key figures in the fight for women’s rights.

      #8

      The author has found interesting parallels between the lives of Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth, two women who lived during the same time period, but had completely
