Bell hooks - out that these white female reformers where more concerned with white morality than the conditions these morals caused black americans. Further, she argues that the stereotypes that were set during slavery still affect black women today. She argues that slaverly allowed white society to stereotype white women as the pure goddess virgin and move black women to the seductive whore stereotype formerly placed on all women.
