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.

Absolutely required reading for anyone looking to get a more intersectional (strong focus on Black and poor perspectives) look on feminism. Very USA-centric, but inspiration to do research into how these issues manifest in my own country as well. The writing occasionally repeats itself, but I didn't mind. 10/10 would recommend!

informative inspiring
 This book was eye-opening. I learned a lot about intersectional feminism and it dealt with so many important topics in some ways I did not think about before. Some parts sadly felt very repetitive and I got lost because there were so many ideas and thoughts, floating around one topic.
I also did not enjoy the writing style. The author wrote in the beginning that she is unapologetic but the way some paragraphs were written just didn't sit right with me. I also had to skip chapter "Reproductive Justice, Eugenics, and Maternal Mortality", due to trigger warnings, which is a bummer because I was very interested in that topic.
It still is a very insightful and interesting book, it just didn't work out the way for me I wish it had. 

I was thinking for a long time whether I want to post a review or not. This is by no means a bad review about the book or its contents it simply didn't work out for me. As a white, cis woman I'm trying my best to educate myself and learn how to be a better ally.

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.
