one of the best feminist books i've read so far for sure. concepts and ideas were explained wonderfully and even though i was already familiar with what was talked about in this book, i was still able to form deeper thoughts about them and feel like i was learning. honestly, it's just such a great read whether you are knowledgeable in the subject or not, so i definitely recommend!

For anyone who considers themselves to be a feminist, this is a must-read. Mikki Kendall captured a lot of feelings that I had about mainstream white feminism and why it really does a disservice to marginalized communities.

(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.
