Not disagreeing at all, but the way it came across to me (which may not have been your intention) is that white women really didn't work until the 60s. I was simply speaking to this statement: "Post-slavery white women also clearly did not ‘labour’ as we did, which is why they fought during their feminist movement of the sixties and seventies for the right to work and earn their own money." As you've agreed with me here, lots of white women were actually already earning their own money long before this time.

I've read quite a bit of bell hooks and am well aware that the struggle is in no way equivalent. Black women were always paid less, treated worse, and given less respect than working class white women. But at the same time, as a matter of precision, white women did not "fight to earn their own money in the 60s and 70s" for the first time because they'd always been doing that. They fought to keep control of it and to have other rights at that time, but that's not quite the same thing. I'm in no way disputing or unaware of anything else that you've said. I completely agree with it all - except that one phrase. That's all. I'm a research-based writer and I care a lot about historical accuracy. I apologize if that came across as trying to dilute your point.
