This is one of the most informative, well-written and relevant books on modern feminism and racism I’ve ever read. Hamad takes you on a journey through history displaying the underbelly of white supremacy and how white women only help keep that system alive. I think this book has the power to inspire women of color everywhere to come to combat the stereotypes used against them. Highly recommend to read this if you call yourself a feminist or ally.
