resources that can fuel women’s rise in status” ● “Promise..that women’s full participation in white-dominated society and politics will not only improve their own social position...their leadership will redeem society itself.”We can’t help but see the parallels in the academy, where white women (whether white feminists or not)benefit the most from women in engineering efforts, perhaps because “white” is a silent or implieddescriptor in front of women. Women of color choose from women in engineering or minority inengineering efforts, neither of which are designed specifically for them in mind. As such, this fails tounite women despite efforts to build diversity and inclusion into the field of engineering (broadly) andengineering
