White Women, Get Ready: How Healing Post-Traumatic Mistress Syndrome Leads to Anti-Racist Change

di Amanda K Gross (Autore)

Otterpine, 2024

White Women, Get Ready is more than just a book—it's a tool for anti-racism. White ladies are everywhere. We are running nonprofits and teaching your kids. We are sitting on school boards and diagnosing your illnesses. Even when we are not at the tip-top of the institutional ladder, we are the ones the majority of legislators, CEOs, and officers roll into bed with at night. All too often, our fight for gender equality has been seen as separate from the fight for racial justice. But as we navigate powerful social spaces and the everyday moments that shape our lives, we must confront our complicity in upholding racist systems. Part historical analysis, part memoir, and part call to action, White Women, Get Ready tells the story of how we white ladies have been groomed to uphold overlapping systems of oppression and how we can use our unique positioning to help upend these violent structures. With a combination of thorough research, astute analysis, and illuminating personal narrative, Amanda K Gross challenges us to face the uncomfortable truths of white womanhood in order to dismantle its legacies, all while providing embodied tools to engage with the complexities of our identities, traumas, and harms. White Women, Get Ready is essential reading for those who contend with white womanhood, seek to take action, and understand that the health and well-being for us is not separate from the health and well-being of all.
