crackedspines_'s review against another edition

read for school, didn’t like nearly enough to read it all. I actually read a lot more than this but it wasn’t in order so it’s not really possible to track.

I put most content warnings under “graphic” but I’m not sure how to categorize them. It’s not graphic in the sense of detailed descriptions of specific occurrences of each topic necessarily, but there are extensive discussions about these topics as a whole. Also, the chapters are fairly independent so not all CWs appear in all or even many chapters.

I love how the author used personal stories to support and give life to statistics. The audiobook was read by the author and you could feel her emotions coming though, very impactful.  The subtle and blatant call out of specific white “feminists” was almost cathartic. A very important book.

fareehareads's review against another edition

I was recommended this book by a friend who said she needed everyone around her to read it and that was enough of a sell for me. The audiobook experience is great because this reads like a lecture at certain parts, I enjoyed going back and listening to chapters again and again. 
Hood Feminism breaks down and showcases a perspective on women in communities that face poverty as well as adding into the conversation a woman's racial background, societal expectations based on that background, and the realities of how women's lives are shaped by these factors especially when you are black in an inherently racist country. The minimizing of black women's experiences, the consequences of poverty for black single mothers, the realities of not having access to a safe home to study in when you're young, and everything in between. I also appreciated the chapter on allyship vs an accomplice. 
There are mentions of and acknowledgments to the black trans community and the black queer community at large in multiple chapters that I appreciated since so many feminist texts gloss over their experiences. I really do need to pick up this book in person when my book buying ban is over (it officially starts today) because this was a very good read. Highly recommend to anyone expanding their definition of feminism.
