Peggy McIntosh is an American feminist and anti-racist activist, a speaker and the founder and co-director of the National S.E.E.D. Project on Inclusive Curriculum (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity)[1].
McIntosh is most famous for authoring "White Privilege and Male Privilege: A Personal Account of Coming to See Correspondences through Work in Women’s Studies."[2] This analysis and its shorter form, "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack,"[3] "have been instrumental in putting the dimension of privilege into discussions of gender, race and sexuality".[4] The essay set forth the concept of "white privilege", a theoretical construct that has since significantly influenced anti-racist theory and practice as well as other activist movements.[5]
