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!

This is a well written, well researched book. If you’re already familiar with intersectional feminism, there’s nothing here particularly new or revelatory, but it’s an excellent addition to the canon.

trigger warnings: racism, misogyny, misogynoir, pregnancy complications, abortion mention, medical trauma for black women, homelessness, physical abuse, domestic abuse, rape, police brutality

This book digs into a wide array of topics and how they intertwine due and how topical solutions don't really address the systemic roots of racism. I really enjoyed the book. It felt like calling out and restating things I already knew but it REALLY outlined how so many problems tie into each other.
