This monograph asserts that the troubled history of segregation
within American women's associations created a legacy of racial
exclusivity and privilege. While acknowledging the progressive
potential of women's associations and the extent to which they
created a legitimate outlet for American women's public activism,
it explores how and why such organizations failed to aid in issues
of integration. Rather than being a historical accident, or a
pragmatic response to circumstance, this monograph demonstrates
that white exclusivity and privilege was crucial to the authority
and influence of these associations. Organized White Women and the
Challenge of Race Relations examines the translation of what seemed
on the surface to be relatively simple demands for racial
integration into a far more significant and all-encompassing
confrontation with the frequently hidden structures and practices
of white privilege.
