Don't You Dare Ask Me to Make You a Sandwich!

During this movement, the SNCC's main focus was on bring equality to African Americans. What they did not focus on was helping us women out, thinking that we are only meant to be house wives. This made my friend Casey and I furious. First we had to fight for equality because of our skin, and now we had to fight for equality because of our gender! In order to make things right, Casey and I wrote Sex and Caste, a document that is now looked upon as a key component to the rise of second-wave feminism. After sending the document to 44 different women all over the country, the document became so famous that the magazine of War Resistors League, Liberation, published it and put it in their magazine!
