challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

A difficult topic shown under a harsh almost clinical light.  Everything is so matter of fact, and it is so sad.  I don’t know why I decided to read this.

My first, but definitely not my last, bell hooks book. This book is borderline radical in 2023 standards, I cannot imagine the storm it caused when it was published.

bell hooks holds no punches and really evaluates and critiques on Black men and White women and their historical treatment of Black women.

I’ve read several intersectional feminist books but it was really refreshing to read a book entirely dedicated to Black women.

This was really informative and shows what feminism should be like. If you want to learn more about intersectionality and how the women’s rights movement leaded by white women often meant the rich white women’s movement since they didn’t care for BIPOC or others social economic classes. 
Bell Hooks is amazing!! Must read
