Cevap

The growth of internal debates over how race, gender, and class interacted, challenging the assumption of a single unified identity within rights movements.
The correct answer identifies the growth of internal debates over how race, gender, and class interacted. The Combahee River Collective Statement represents a foundational text of Black feminism, arguing that systems of oppression are interlocking. This directly challenged the mainstream feminist movement (which was often dominated by white, middle-class concerns) and the civil rights movement (which often prioritized male leadership and racial concerns over gender and sexuality), thereby highlighting growing internal debates within these movements.
