Gender and Race (late)

Historically women have been put into roles that are deemed less than roles men take on, but one must consider how race adds a significant difference in the way the roles are played out.  As stated in “Through the Lens of Race: Black and White Women’s Perceptions of Womanhood”, “socio-historical differences in black and white woman's opinion for work family and domestic labor as well as experiences of discrimination in stereotyping have created a set of race related to gender norms that are likely to influence how women are from these groups perceive and value their own gender.”  One thing to note about a point made in the essay in the important difference between gender and race is even though white women experience oppression against women black women experience oppression through both gender and race. With that in mind one would have to understand how past racism has made a stereotype on black women as "hypersexual yet hypofeminine," when white women are seen as "nurturing, domestic, dependent, submissive, and emotional" making the stereotype reinforced with the idea that white women are the norm. With the stereotypes in play, one could statistically see that black women are more likely to be a single mother in the working force, whereas white women are seen as housewives, taking care of domestic responsibilities. This leads to mistreatment in the gender and race, but also there is in a vintage white women have over black women. Examples ranging from scholarships, accessibility to certain jobs, economic benefits, and freedom of expression. This is all a prime example of why there's no hierarchy of oppression and why all women should be fighting for freedom for all equal rights.
