bell hooks clearly details the impact of not only racist but sexist oppression that has a very wide effect on the lives of black women throughout American history and still exists today.
It's a crucial viewpoint to the feminist movement and everyone who calls themselves a feminist, especially white women who have been at the pinnacle of excluding black women from their movement, should give this book a read.
An informative and valuable book.

Fair warning is that there are a lot of triggering content that can be deeply upsetting. I have tried to include all of the ones I could remember in the content warnings, but please go in with the expectation that there are things that are horrific, but important to learn about.

The only part that mentions the question about mandatory heterosexuality is to question the academics who have written about it and their failure to act against a system considered oppressed.
