Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall

challenging emotional informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

Unfortunately, given our recent elections, this book is just as relevant now as when it was published several years ago. The book covers how feminism should consider a wider variety of issues in order to truly be intersectional, including things like beauty, food insecurity, housing, voting, education, etc. It also does not shy away from calling out white women for how we are often complicit in racist systems, as well as the patriarchy. I’m afraid that, as the book states, black women are the canary in the coal mine with these election results, and that white women have a great deal of reckoning to do with respect to those results.
