steveisskinny: anegroking: Black Panther Party Book list 1968 | Adding to my “Must Read” list. i have mad respect for the black panther party but i must say, where are the women writers on this list? It’s not uncommon to read stories of all kinds of activist groups in this time period where the women were relegated to cooking for the men, cleaning up after the men, taking care of the men… while the men were the ones DOING things and speaking and such. Not that women didn’t have a large role in activism (they did!) just that it was a far cry from being treated equally with the men in their same cause(s). Still, I’d like to check out some of these books.
