Review by emergencily - Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

4.25

does a rlly good job of presenting the ways the mainstream feminism we're familiar with is centred on the white middle class experience to the detriment of black women & other marginalized women
discusses the experiences of marginalized women, the role of white women as performative allies vs actual accomplices, and the way white privilege intersects with gender
the book is super educational and covers a ton of different issues in eye opening ways such as: housing, poverty, food insecurity, reproductive justice, police brutality, maternal health etc.
the book is never boring because the author always centers the emotional, personal stories and lived experiences of black women in its analysis
