As someone who's pretty well versed in feminism in general and Black feminism/womanism in particular, I didn't really find much of the information in this groundbreaking or revelatory. That being said, to a lot of others, it might be. I'd recommend this to someone who is just learning about feminism or who hasn't had much experience with WOC feminism. I thought the author did an excellent job of mixing research, care, and personal experiences.

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.
