Class ? On race and gender

Someone asked in class about the intersections of the fights for racial equality and gender equality. What Kerber did not mention, perhaps because she was writing during the inception of it, there is/was a 3rd wave of Feminism. It began in the 1990's and brought the struggles of race and gender and all struggles for equality for groups of disadvantaged people into the broader Feminist discussion. It was in a way a backlash against 2nd wave Feminism that was primarily driven by and fighting for the interests of white, middle and upper class women. 3rd wave Feminism strives to include the voices and concerns of women of color, people in poverty, the LGBT community, and other underprivileged groups. In Kerber's book, all the women principals she introduces us to like the plaintiffs in the cases were white women of middle or upper class, such as the Smith sisters. Most of the female lawyers she describes taking up the causes of the legal cases were also white, at least middle class, and privileged enough to be able to earn law degrees.  I think a reading of legal cases related to 3rd wave Feminism issues would certainly include the two recent Supreme Court decisions, DOMA and Prop 8.
