J.D. 1982, Stanford Law School; M.A. 1979, UCLA; A.B. 1978, Princeton University. A draft of this paper was presented at the U.C. Davis Law Review Symposium, The Future of Critical Race Feminism, held April 1, 2005. Thank you very much to the excellent editors and to UC Davis School of Law Professor Angela Onwuachi-Willig, who went beyond the call of duty as an untenured person to make this event and journal issue possible. We believe this was the third national symposium on Critical Race Feminism, the first held by the Iowa Journal of Gender, Race, and Justice in 1997 and the second held by the San Diego Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues in 2001. Also, we are grateful to Professor Wing's research assistants Aaron McLeod, Simba Hodari, Julie Giddings, Lindsay Lange, Richard Reeve, Veronica Reeve, Allison Harvey, Alex Hernandez, and Meredith Stewart who all collected information in France; and to assistants Tarek Khowassah, Samuel Sadden, and especially Ozan Varol. Any errors in the French or in translations are ours. J.D. 2005, University of Iowa College of Law; B.A. 2002, University of Missouri.
