Project on Inclusive Curriculum (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity).〔(SEED Project website ), at Wellesley Centers for Women.〕 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." The essay seeks to put in context the ways in which socially, legality, and economically constructions of how race benefits white people in their daily lives. In "White Privilege and Male Privilege", McIntosh gestures toward systemic oppression, her text focuses overwhelmingly on conceptualizing privilege as individual and equates individual white people coming to understanding of their white privilege with overcoming the systems of racial oppression.〔 Also, McIntosh assumes the notion that lessening privilege for white people would also, in a direct way, lessen oppression for people of color.〔 == Education and Teaching Career== McIntosh was born in Brooklyn and grew up in New Jersey.〔McIntosh, Peggy. “Founder.” National SEED Project.
