She was an active figure in second-wave feminism and the campaign against the Vietnam War.
Davis has been inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. She expressed her opposition to the Vietnam War, racism, sexism, the prison–industrial complex, and her support of gay rights and other social justice movements. In 1969, she blamed imperialism for the difficulties oppressed populations suffer.
2020, she was listed as the 1971 "Woman of the Year" in Time magazine's "100 Women of the Year" edition, which selected iconic women over the 100 years since women's suffrage in the United States of America from 1920. Together with Kimberlé Crenshaw and others, she formed the African American Agenda 2000, an alliance of black feminists.
