    In teaching women, we have two choices:

    and a belief that learning in the classroom could not be isolated from the student’s experience as a member of an urban minority group in white America.

    The essays in this book represent the journey of my own thought toward the paragraph I have just written.

    Marxist-feminist historian Linda Gordon observes in her book Woman’s Body, Woman’s Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America, that heterosexual relations are charged with extreme risk for women, and that the entire balance of power between the sexes must change if birth control and abortion are to be genuinely effective in changing women’s lives. She is one of the few heterosexual feminists to have confronted so clearly the institution of heterosexuality as a major buttress of male power.
