As others said, it's more academic than you might expect. Also, I wonder if hooks really believed that feminism is for everybody. I've been meaning to read this book for years, and it wasn't quite what I was expecting. She made statements like anti-choice people and conservatives can't be feminists. I agree with this, but that undermines the title!

informative

bell hooks succeeded in what she wnated to do with this book: she created a deeply accessible and intuitive manual that can teach whomever some pillars of feminism. 
Her view on men and their role in the movement was very interesting and definitely something I'll think about 🌹
