Peggy McIntosh does not authorize electronic distribution of her articles. The fact that her article, White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack, has been altered by so many people that 1,100 versions now exist online, confirms for Peggy the value of 'real things, in hard copy.'

In support of her philosophy, she invites people to email her directly, mmcintosh@wellesley.edu to order a free copy of any or all of the below articles. Please include your full street address and zip code.
