A fantastic book on a complex but necessary subject. I learnt a lot from this book and it made me reflect on how I can be a better accomplice to marginalized women. The book was mostly accessible but my only gripe is that I sometimes found the writing style hard to understand, not sure if that's the result of how complicated the subject is or the way it was edited. Otherwise, an amazing book that everyone should read.

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.

(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.
