<br>===================
<br>Too often the roles of Global South women in struggles for economic
<br>and social justice are ignored. Or they are mentioned in passing,<br>without a full look at the richness of their experiences, and lessons<br>they offer us all.<br><br>* What can we learn from women's contributions?
<br>* Why does colonization depend on sexism?<br>* What can Global South women teach us about how racism, patriarchy, & imperialism work, that we might otherwise miss?<br><br>
