Sarah Breedlove, her birth name, was born to parents who were slaves, along with her elder siblings. She, herself, was not born into slavery buth faced many of the same oppressions that African Americans faced during that time as there was still segregation and much racial bigotry. So yes, just as most if not all African Americans during that time in history were socially and economically oppressed, she was.

What is the point of black feminism?

The point of any movement for equality that focuses on a minority is to look at issues that effect that particular group of people and addresses problems that they face.Black Feminism is to Feminism, as Feminism is to Egalitarianism.Egalitarianism is the trend of thought that believes that all people should be equal, however people are not equal and thus different people will face different issues that require specific focus - for example we have feminism because women are an oppressed group, black civil rights movements because black people are an oppressed group, and gay rights movements because homosexual people are an oppressed group. Feminism represents a movement to bring equality to all women, but it must be recognized that women within certain minority groups are more oppressed than say white women...thus there are more issues to be focused upon. Feminism is overwhelmingly white-centered, so black feminism exists to specifically deal with issues that impact on black women.


What are some examples of oppressed groups?

To the individual who wrote the response "all minorities...anyone who is not a white male..." I would add the word heterosexual between white and male. I would also add the word Christian.Further, oppressed individuals are those who are members of the subordinate culture, rather than the dominate culture. The dominate culture in the U.S. is made up of Caucasian, heterosexual people (male and female). Although women can be oppressed, white women are less likely to be oppressed than, say, a black woman.Examples of subordinate culture, or oppressed groups are: people of color, native americans, the disabled, women, lesbians and gays, transgendered individuals, those born into poverty, and immigrants.
