The current study used cumulative disadvatage theory to assess the relative influence of race on mortality among 2,288 young women. The findings indicate that race is a robust predictor of women's mortality at young ages even when human, social, personal, institutional, and community capital are accounted for. They suggest that feminists and other advocates for social justice who seek to create more equitable life-course outcomes in the society at large should not ignore race when they conside women's issues.
