Defining Gender Equity<\/h2>\n

In the context of the five women we have analyzed, gender equity occurs when black women use\u00a0education, activism, and writing to place them on the same equal footing as black men and white women.\u00a0<\/span>These five black women fought for gender equity in various different ways. Even though each woman thought black women’s gender equity could be achieved in different ways, they \u00a0focused on uplifting black women’s access to opportunities that are easily afforded to white men, white women, and black men.<\/p>\n
