When White Women Cry: How White Women's Tears Oppress Women of Color
Accapadi, Mamta Motwani
College Student Affairs Journal, v26 n2 p208-215 Spr 2007
This article focuses on the tension that arises as the result of the intersection of social identities, namely gender and race. Through examination of a case study I consider the ways in which White women benefit from White privilege through their interactions with Women of Color using the Privileged Identity Exploration Model as the tool for analysis.
