Mothers of Massive Resistance: White Women and the Politics of White Supremacy | 
bailedGonna give up on this one for now. I realized yesterday that I‘ve read less than 70 pages after starting this three weeks ago. Not sure if it‘s time or interest that‘s lacking.
Definitely give it a shot if you are interested in learning about the role white women have played historically in maintaining or promoting white supremacy.
This book is fascinating and mind boggling, but it‘s also quite dry. I hate it when this happens with non-fiction.
As usual, Jacques is not interested at all. #catsoflitsy
pickMust read for the resistance. 100 years ago, women organized much as we see today, only they did it for Jim Crow. Segregationist white women were able to influence politics and culture thru their work, especially when schools and public ed were the battle ground. Excellent disturbing read. We have a lot of work to do. https://cannonballread.com/2018/04/a-short-history-of-white-womens-complicity/
This book is fascinating. I had never heard of this before. I‘m only about a quarter of the way in, but author is making a powerful argument for white women‘s use of grass roots organizing a century ago to uphold Jim Crow. It‘s unsettling but I guess not surprising. The hand that rocks the cradle can also be complicit.
