kittycat2302's review against another edition
5.0
This is probably the best book I have read about race, and about feminism, yet. Admittedly I’m not as thoroughly read on these subjects as I want to be, but I imagine this will continue to be a standout. I used 80 tabs to mark passages to return to later and continue reflecting on. The way Mikki Kendall breaks down so many different subject matters- hunger, housing, education, healthcare, and so many more- and makes it crystal clear how much EACH of these is a feminist issue, and explicitly an intersectional/accomplice feminist issue is masterful. Strongly recommend, especially for my white feminist friends. This will push you in essential ways.

“In general, if you have come to these spaces looking to take things away for your benefit instead of looking to contribute, then you're already doing it wrong”
I loved how she tied personal stories into feminist concepts, I can see how this would bring more understanding to folks that might be new to these concepts. I appreciate how much she challenges the readers. I do wish that some concepts went a hair more in depth but if my only complaint is that I wish the book was longer…

I think this would've been a more life-changing book for me if I had read it like three/four years ago, but at this point like a fair amount of stuff wasn't new to me.
Most interesting part/reframing for me was to think about feminist issues in terms of like what issues are impacting women most (ex poverty) instead of like what issues are like "just women issues" (ignore the gender binary-ism for the sake of making this easier to write).
