A great book for confronting White Feminism in yourself if you've never done that before, and a good reminder for those of us that have already been trying to confront these things.

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!

zombiezami's review against another edition

4.0

As someone who's pretty well versed in feminism in general and Black feminism/womanism in particular, I didn't really find much of the information in this groundbreaking or revelatory. That being said, to a lot of others, it might be. I'd recommend this to someone who is just learning about feminism or who hasn't had much experience with WOC feminism. I thought the author did an excellent job of mixing research, care, and personal experiences.

Excellent writing. I thought it balanced the personal and theory very well. I would still highly recommend this to those first reading Black theory/ scholarship.

This should be mandatory reading for all feminists. Each chapter essay is insightful and succinct. I particularly appreciate Kendall’s point that any issue that affects women and femme people is a feminist issue. Highly recommend!
