Peggy McIntosh is an American feminist and anti-racist activist, the associate director of the Wellesley Centers for Women[1], and a speaker and the founder and co-director of the National S.E.E.D. Project on Inclusive Curriculum (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity)[2].
McIntosh is most famous for authoring the 1988 essay "White Privilege and Male Privilege: A Personal Account of Coming to See Correspondences through Work in Women’s Studies."[3] This analysis and its shorter form, "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack,"[4] "have been instrumental in putting the dimension of privilege into discussions of gender, race and sexuality".[5]
