We talked about this in passing in class, and im getting conflicting information online, was the early feminist movement really willing to throw blacks under the bus?
It varied person to person. I mean Victoria Woodhull was the first woman to run for president in 1872 for the Equal Rights Party and she nominated a black ex slave, Frederick Douglass, as her vice president if she'd won.
OTOH, the first female senator was Rebecca Felton who was sworn in in 1922 and was a commited feminist who campaigned for women's suffrage and equal pay for equal work. She was also an unabashed white supremicist who'd owned slaves, supported lynching and was entirely against black people having votes.
Obviously those two women are the extremes but it shows how opinions varied among the movement.
