If you are a person who is at all interested in feminist thought - I highly recommend this book.
I have long been aware that feminism has historically centered around whiteness and lacked an intersectional lens, but I did not know what that *really* meant. Enter, Hood Feminism. Holy goodness - this book is JAM-PACKED with direct, clear, and undeniable examples of how historical feminism has edged out folks of color and how to rethink feminism from an intersectional, equity, and inclusion framework. And, to be clear, Mikki Kendall does not waste time sugar coating anything which for me is much needed in my continued work and personal development. Given how rich this book is I will likely need to reread it, as there is no way I have been able to take in all this book has to offer in one read.

I'm not the target audience, because this social commentary on feminism/womanism seemed common sense to me.

This book felt really important. It helped reframe a lot of issues for me, and lay out with clarity the many nuances of complex issues. Strong recommend for white feminists particularly.
