the role of minority women in the two major social movements of the 1950s- early 1970s

Discuss the role of minority women in the two major social movements of the 1950s through the early 1970s; the black freedom struggles/ civil rights movements and the feminist movements.

You can define minority women as African American women, Native American women, and/or Hispanic women. In other words, discuss one, two or all three groups.

How prominent a role did minority women play in either movement and why were minority women more active in the civil rights struggles than the feminist movement? How did gender and race shape their activism?
