must be taken into consideration when discussing systemic privilege and oppression. This essay will mainly be focused on American feminism and there will be particular care paid to how first wave feminism treated and seemingly forgot about women of color in its quest for recognition. The Awakening, written by Kate Chopin in 1899, is one of the initial pieces of first wave feminist fiction. This story focuses on Edna, an incredibly dissatisfied Southern housewife who finds love outside of her marriage

raised, quite literally, in the domestic lair of oppression. People of color, in particular, face a particularly insidious type of oppression, one that is rationalized, one that forces households to strive endlessly to reach an ideal that is unattainable. Queer of color theory and intersectionality serve as frameworks through which to discuss the relationship between domesticity and gender, race, and sexuality for people of color.

When working with women of color, as social workers, we have to be able to understand where they are coming from to help them. We will never fully comprehend what or where they come from, of the struggles they face on a daily basis. For me, a middle-aged white male, I most definitely will not be in a position to recognize those strains they face in their lives. While working in my internship with the homeless community, I had the opportunity to help women that hailed from Micronesia, the Philippines

history, there have been good people and bad ones, and a major deciding factor in this is background. The chances of being dissatisfactory are often increased if a person has a low income or the person is living in a poor neighborhood and is a person of color. These illegal activities that are commonly found in poorer areas often lead a person down the wrong path in life. These paths are not the path to success, but a path to a jail cell.

tempestuous seascapes of J.M.W. Turner. This painting is grand in scale, but speaks about the terrors of the human experience.  My initial reaction to this painting is that of melancholy.
