Does Feminism Include You?

100 Women

Available for over a year

Has the feminist movement succeeded in engaging women: regardless of race, regardless of ethnicity, regardless of sexuality, regardless of differences? Does modern feminism have a duty to be more inclusive, or should different groups join the ongoing revolution without a fuss and go on to shape the next stage of feminism in a way that suits all women? Beyonce says: 鈥淧ower is not given to you, you have to take it鈥. Is she right? Panellists include: Heather Rabbatts is a British lawyer, businesswoman, and broadcaster. Kimberl茅 Williams Crenshaw, an American civil rights advocate and leading scholar of critical race theory. Gail Lewis, a sociologist who specialises in psycho-social studies of race and gender. She was a long standing member of Brixton Black Women's Group and a co-founder of the Organisation for Women of African and Asian Descent (OWAAD). Produced by Karnie Sharp.
