The weakness of Rosen’s work is the limited information presented on minority women in the United States. Because of the limited information on minority women in the feminist movement it is hard to understand how all groups of women were affected with the feminist movement and if all women equally felt the same about their place in society. Another thing to consider, when looking at the feminist movement is if African American and other minority women were more in tune with the battle for civil rights for all minorities rather than the feminist movement.

My mom always figured being that I was an only child that I should be put in pre-school to get used to socializing and playing with other kids. So we enrolled into Holy Cross. My mom had visited several pre-schools. When she got to Holy Cross she knew that was the one. She told me she asked the administration if she could come to class with me and they said only the first day for a little while. My mom said it was tough dropping me off but when she would come to pick me up I was always happy and she knew it was the right thing to keep me there. I went 3 days a week from 9-12.
