Fall 2008. JENNIFER SCANLON. Women of color are often ignored or pushed to the margins. There is a cost to that absence, obviously, for women of color.

Addresses the gaps and explores the histories and contemporary issues affecting women of color and their ethnic/racial communities in the United States.
