A sociological reader for women of all educational levels-- it can read like academic text, but bell hooks writes for all to understand

A balm. My only complaint is that some parts were a little fatphobic, so be aware of that.

Wow, what a book! It's a bit out dated but still much of what bell mentions is still relevant today. Over all 4.5stars.
