Essential reading for modern women about intersectionality and activism. Clear prose, informative, powerful - there's nothing I can say about this book or Ms. Davis that hasn't already been said!

challenging informative reflective tense slow-paced

4.5

This was not an easy read (as evidenced by the fact that it took me over a year to finish), but it was extremely important as a basis for understanding the historically inseparable nature of race, class, and gender oppression.

This woman is so incredibly brilliant and this is all still so relevant 30 years later. Especially valuable to read thinking about being in a Roe-less world again and how we can sharpen the movement based on what our sisters did before us.
