The authors interviewed 74 randomly selected college students in an attempt to determine reasons for black women's lack of involvement in the women's liberation movement. Black female students showed a great concern with blackness and its implications but less concern than their white counterparts about integrating vocational interests with their concept of their sex role. It was noted that the black students' fathers were often of lower occupational, educational, and social status than their mothers. The possible implications of these findings are discussed.Abstract Teaser
