The reason why women are stressed as a minority in and of themselves (even within a minority context) is that ‘minority’ does not automatically imply a culture that is beneficial to women. Many minorities show a strongly patriarchal culture, making minority women a doubly suppressed group. So the term ‘white women and minorities’ would only cover up the suppression of women within minorities themselves. Patriarchy is not limited to one racial context.
