What's Up with White Women?: Unpacking Sexism and White Privilege in Pursuit of Racial Justice by Tilman Smith, Ilsa M. Govan

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

This book fills a gap in social justice education by confronting an issue that is invisible from a white perspective. Written by and for white women (and people who were socialized as such) who care about racial justice. (one is cis and straight, the other is queer and nonbinary, both have years of experience in teaching about racism in work settings) I consider myself somewhat informed and skillful in social justice issues, but this book humbled me. If you’re ready to check your privilege, I think any white person of any gender would benefit from reading this book and doing the reflections and activities it offers.
