Dorothy Height, who died in 2010, spoke openly about the sexism she experienced within the civil rights movement, challenging this by working with other women to establish women's political organizations such as the National Women's Political Caucus. Height engaged white women in the movement, highlighting the particular struggles faced by African American women who experience both sexism and racism. The National Women's Political Caucus still exists today, showing the extent and importance of Dorothy Height's political activism." -- Kate Sang, Professor of Gender and Employment Studies at Edinburgh Business School
