A fantastic book on a complex but necessary subject. I learnt a lot from this book and it made me reflect on how I can be a better accomplice to marginalized women. The book was mostly accessible but my only gripe is that I sometimes found the writing style hard to understand, not sure if that's the result of how complicated the subject is or the way it was edited. Otherwise, an amazing book that everyone should read.

This is a tough read at times, but so incredibly necessary. White feminism often makes itself out to be feminism as a whole, but there are a lot of missing pieces that this book starts to highlight. Read it!

I want to carry this around like a holy book. I want to write a year-long monthly book club guide that goes through this book one chapter at a time. Like. god. wow. I feel like you could learn something new every time you read it.

Mikki Kendall is a really engaging writer. She makes these difficult topics more accessible by relating them to her experiences, those of people who she knows, and making the connections between seemingly isolated ideas. Everything is interconnected and by finding that tissue, we can better work to dismantle the systems that harm us. There are also powerful calls to action for white feminists who can be more in community with BIPOC women.
