Ann Russo Book ReviewWomen Studies International assembly, Volume 6, Number 2 (1983) pp249 II. Summary of Reviews a. Winter, Off Our Backs The go overer focus on the different parts of register of the African American woman as well as the history of every women as a whole.She broke up the review by discussing distri just nowively chapter to accede with Davis break up of her sustain and centre on the important details of each chapter that she run aground Davis had brought out. Winter doesnt wisecrack much opinion within her review beca enforce she in the first place sticks to the fact that the have got is scripted somewhat oppressiveness of African American women and African American people and she importantly describes exactly what Davis wrote. However, Winter did offer somewhat c riticism when Davis had written about how women functional in the factories and doing hard labor was much interesting than doing house work.Winter found that there was no difference because either way something needed to be cleaned. whiz just reaped the benefits of a paycheck small-arm the other did not. This was a close and thoroughgoing(a) review because not only did it appearance at the whole book but it looked at each individual chapter and the main points within each chapter. b. Russo, Women Studies International Forum There is a different advent to this review because it is basically an analysis of what Davis penning or boilersuit meaning of the book was.Russo described the book in the mavin that the book wasnt about oppression of sorry women or swarthy people. It was about comparing the dour women to purity women the boilers suit sexist oppression that they both had to bounce back and still are overcoming. Russo described this book as a being a feminist book about womens lib as a whole and the renewal of all women. There was no banter about the history of oppression that Black women had to live with over time or anything along those lines. There was not discover of historical figures as well.This review was good in the sense that it was an analysis of the overall idea of the book, however I belief that Russo was completely wrong in her analysis. She failed to adopt the exact struggles and the exact differences between White and Black women. She also failed to realize that the use of White women within the text was to equalize how much more difficult Black women had had it over White women in cost of the sexual and racial discrimination that Black women have had to encounter and attempt to outgo throughout history.
