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.

Really important piece of feminist literature. Forces readers to examine how poverty,race,education,health, etc are feminist issues. Some parts felt a little repetitive, but overall a really good read.
