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

Hood Feminism

4/5. Book of short essays critiquing mainstream (white) feminism for, at a basic level, prioritizing goals intended to increase privilege over goals intended to foster survival. Which is a really good way of describing why intersectionality matters. Or, in other words, why hunger is a feminist issue. Burningly angry, spare, and effective, and read by the author to not terrible results for the audiobook, imagine that.

Content notes: Violence, pregnancy loss, racism.
