Summary: This source discusses how black women encounter two types of discrimination: being a woman and being black. It said that they were left to do menial jobs because many are illiterate, and do not have many skills. On top of that they do not recieve benefits and they get paid little. Also, 85% of black women are below the poverty line and 48% are illiterate.

How will this help? Having this information will give me a little more insight on how black women are being discriminated in this society.
