Race, Gender, and the Elections: A Reading List

Now that I'm putting together my syllabus for the fall semester, I've decided I must teach related materials pertaining to the Presidential Elections. Since I teach in Women's Studies, I'm gathering a list of readings concerning race and gender politics.

Here's a quick list (and I definitely invite you all to send any editorials/articles/commentaries/videos etc. I may have overlooked):

The Infamous:

Gloria Steinem, Women Are Never Frontrunners

Robin Morgan, Goodbye to All That (#2)
