Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism by bell hooks

challenging informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

I know I’m late to the party, but this book is a must read for anyone who considers themselves a “feminist” - or anyone who doesn’t, for that matter. bell hooks presents the black feminist perspective in direct, easily digestible terms, making the information accessible to just about anyone. White people who consider themselves feminists would probably benefit most from this book. I think we have a duty to seek out different perspectives so that we might collectively learn to make the feminist movement in the West more inclusive. I loved this!
