Their white feminist politics have come at a great cost, resulting in the sustained exploitation, oppression, and silencing of women of color.The Trouble with White Women details the history of white feminist icons and their counterparts from the 1840s to the present.

His estranged wife and brother are siding with the usurper Gaston and plotting against him. Still worse, his sole child and heir is his nineteen-year-old daughter Marguerite. He believes he has less than two years to find a suitable husband for her—but acceptable Calvinist noblemen, French or foreign, are sparse at the moment.What’s a father to do? **
