Hazel V. Carby’s 1982 essay “White Woman Listen! Black Feminism and the Boundaries of Sisterhood” is a scathing indictment of feminism in the 1980s, calling out the elements of racism and subjugation that white feminism directs toward “the forgotten woman”: women of color and women from underdeveloped countries. Carby argues that “white feminism” is not inclusive and lacks the insight to be representative of minority women. Her critique stems from the distinctive treatment that Black, minority, and Asian women experience as a result of their complex intersectional identities. It is not enough for white women to examine women’s lives in general in the light of patriarchy. They must research, investigate, and listen to the specific experiences of Black and minority women to gain a fuller understanding of the ways their lives are different from those of white women.
