Dear John,

You are invited to a discussion on February 17 at 6:30 p.m. ET with former Jezebel editor-in-chief Koa Beck about her new book, “White Feminism”. Her new work uncovers the long, troubling, racist ideology that has dominated the American women’s movement from its start.

It is this feminism of exclusion that leads us to today, where mid-pandemic, women and non-binary are shouldering the vast majority of domestic work, child rearing, remote learning, and endangering women of color through “outsourcing.” Join Beck as she looks at the lack of equality as it plays out in work and labor, and pulls back the curtain on white feminism’s similarities to traditional patriarchy. Her conversation partners for this are Roxane Gay, contributing opinion writer for the New York Times and author of Bad Feminist; Brittney Cooper, professor of Women’s and Gender Studies and Africana Studies at Rutgers University and author of Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower; and Barbara Smith, legendary author and activist who cofounded the Combahee River Collective in 1975 and was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2005.

This is the first in a two-part series co-presented by the Center for Brooklyn History and the Ms. Foundation for Women. Register here and mark your calendars for the second in the series on February 25.
