An absolute must read for anyone wanting to grow and makes their feminism more intersectional (a necessity!). Easily accessible and great foundational discussion about the harm of mainstream white feminism.

Every social worker or public facing advocate should read this and be reminded that our work is but a band-aid for internal bleeding and that in addition to fighting for systemic change we should be actively challenging the paternalistic and judgmental values of the non-profit/social work world.

While this wasnt hugely new information to me, I think this was amazingly written, is quite intersectional, and discusses very important topics. Kendall balances the line of personal with more dense information and does thus amazingly. This book had me “mmm”-ing along the whole time. I would highlyyyy recommend.

I went into this book with the assumption that I will learn an average amount of stuff. I just finished this book with an "oh my god, yes!"
I was already aware of most issues talked about in the book but not all. Hearing topics that hit specifically hard in the US made me shocked, because those rarely get brought up around here. I loved especially the last chapter a lot. Every sentence in that one was on point. I have almost the whole chapter marked in my reading app.
I can highly recommend this to anyone that has has done a basic level of research and listening to marginalized communities, because this book takes you from there into the rabbit hole. I really appreciate this book for going deeper on topics that I already saw as important & adding new things onto my internal radar.
Also loved the repeated highlighting of LGBTQ+ individuals and adjacent problems in the book!
