"Yet, for many, its not a matter of when
to use the label 'feminist'; the label doesnt fit. The historical
exclusion of working class women and women of color from the white
middle-class movement is why feminists like bell hooks refer to womens movements rather than the singular
Movement and why Alice Walker has coined the term 'Womanist' to
denote 'a black feminist or feminist of color.'"
