Reviews"From a brilliant human being and outstanding scholar, a great model for how to make a takedown a work of great art, how devotion to the truth can cut into a dominant narrative not just like a knife but with the hard wiring of real love." -- Porochista Khakpour, author of Brown Album: Essays on Exile & Identity, Sick: A Memoir, and other books, "An indispensable gift and a profoundly illuminating resource. Schuller is an expert at articulating the malignant disjunctions and hypocrisies of our culture with stunning craft, style, insight, and narrative suspense. One of the most essential writers and scholars of our time." -- T Kira Madden, author of Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls, "Clarifying, challenging, exquisitely researched and argued, The Trouble With White Women will give you so much to sit with and to revisit--it prepares us to do the hard, essential labor of dismantling white feminism." -- Anne Helen Petersen, author of Can't Even, "Kyla Schuller turns her razor-sharp focus and intimate understanding of the intersection of race and gender to some of the giant figures of white feminism - and their contemporaries who challenged them from the get-go. From Frances Harper and Elizabeth Cady Stanton to Pauli Murray and Betty Friedan, Schuller reminds us that even from its beginnings white feminism has seen significant and sustained challenges from Black, Indigenous and other women of color. With characteristic originality and insight, Schuller offers a gripping contribution to the critical literature on white feminism, and in the process delivers a masterclass not only on how the personal is indeed political but on how the specific is universal." -- Ruby Hamad, author of White Tears, Brown Scars

SynopsisAn incisive, inspiring history of self-serving white feminists and the women who continually defied them to build a feminism for all, The history of feminism has usually been told through the lives and victories of white women. In The Trouble with White Women, Schuller argues these women created a white-feminist politics that dispossessed the most marginalized to liberate themselves. She brings to life the two-hundred-year counterhistory of feminism told through stories of Black, Indigenous, Latina, poor, queer, and trans women. Their lives, setbacks, and visionary politics hold important lessons, reminding us that the struggle for gender justice can only succeed in partnership with other fights for justice., An incisive history of self-serving white feminists and the inspiring women who've continually defied them Women including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Margaret Sanger, and Sheryl Sandberg are commonly celebrated as leaders of feminism. Yet they have fought for the few, not the many. As award-winning scholar Kyla Schuller argues, their white feminist politics dispossess the most marginalized to liberate themselves.In The Trouble with White Women , Schuller brings to life the two-hundred-year counter history of Black, Indigenous, Latina, poor, queer, and trans women pushing back against white feminists and uniting to dismantle systemic injustice. These feminist heroes such as Frances Harper, Harriet Jacobs, and Pauli Murray have created an anti-racist feminism for all. But we don't speak their names and we don't know their legacies. Unaware of these intersectional leaders, feminists have been led down the same dead-end alleys generation after generation, often working within the structures of racism, capitalism, homophobia, and transphobia rather than against them. Building a more just feminist politics for today requires a reawakening, a return to the movement's genuine vanguards and visionaries. Their compelling stories, campaigns, and conflicts reveal the true potential of feminist liberation. An Entropy Magazine Best Nonfiction Book of 2020-2021, The Trouble with White Women gives feminists today the tools to fight for the flourishing of all., An incisive history of self-serving white feminists and the inspiring women who've continually defied them Women including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Margaret Sanger, and Sheryl Sandberg are commonly celebrated as leaders of feminism.
