She was a sheepdog, through and through. She was elevated by the CIA because she made sure to never mention intersectionality, how gender issues would never be resolved without addressing the issues pertaining to class and race.
I also think much of her work is getting rolled back, in my opinion, the fall of the USSR plays a part in why so many of women’s rights are being relinquished, the rights were never seized, only granted temporarily by the state, allowing for these rollbacks to occur now that there isn’t a reason to keep up the facade.

You mean the liberals didn’t yet invent this particular term to co-opt the concept from the revolutionaries such as Claudia Jones.
