Hugely informative and beautifully written. Kendall brilliantly interweaves personal anecdotes with critical race theory.  I need to read it again to get the full effect.

As someone who's pretty well versed in feminism in general and Black feminism/womanism in particular, I didn't really find much of the information in this groundbreaking or revelatory. That being said, to a lot of others, it might be. I'd recommend this to someone who is just learning about feminism or who hasn't had much experience with WOC feminism. I thought the author did an excellent job of mixing research, care, and personal experiences.

Excellent writing. I thought it balanced the personal and theory very well. I would still highly recommend this to those first reading Black theory/ scholarship.
