What's Up with White Women?: Unpacking Sexism and White Privilege in Pursuit of Racial Justice (Paperback)
by Ilsa Govan and Tilman Smith

As a white woman, ask yourself: are you upholding or fighting racism?

What's Up with White Women? is a practical guide for white women who are interested in becoming more effective in their cross-cultural, anti-racist practices.

Blending real-life stories, theory, and anti-racism practices from decades of on-the-ground work, the authors invite white women to understand their gendered role in systemic racism and their unique opportunity for action.
