The "Woman Question": the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Intersections of Race and Gender in the 1960S

Authors

Kelsey Smith, The College of Wooster

Abstract

The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee provided a space for African American women to raise the "woman question" and challenge traditional gender roles. Their activism does not fall into the traditional understanding of feminism but their efforts to change understandings of race and gender cannot be ignored.
