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.
