(I listened to the audiobook version.)
There wery many observations, ideas, and suggestions in this book that I found helpful for my own mindset, even when they might not have been completely new to me. It is important to note that this book does require you to be familiar with feminism, otherwise it is not as accessible. This is due to the fact that Kendall directs her words mainly to white mainstream feminists. I think anyone who considers themself a feminist should look into the ideas of this work and reflect upon them.

This book was one of the most eye-opening lenses into feminism I've read. The information was presented succinctly without being overwhelming, but definitely provides pages and pages of evidence, statistics, and historical facts to illustrate the need for intersectional feminism that centers Black women in particular, and communities of color in general. A great reference book, and a great intro into the huge topic of intersectional feminism and how feminism could and should pave the way to a better world.

Very informative. I felt that I learnt so much in a small book. The chapters were short but I did need breaks after reading some chapters

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.
