Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall

3 reviews

zombiezami's review against another edition

4.0

As someone who's pretty well versed in feminism in general and Black feminism/womanism in particular, I didn't really find much of the information in this groundbreaking or revelatory. That being said, to a lot of others, it might be. I'd recommend this to someone who is just learning about feminism or who hasn't had much experience with WOC feminism. I thought the author did an excellent job of mixing research, care, and personal experiences.

informative reflective medium-paced

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!
