This book was a very informative read. The authors do a great job in exposing the ways in which white feminism has historically excluded and silenced women of color. This book made me take a real note of the privilege I have as a white woman. Highly recommend!

emotional informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.5

Some things you can’t unsee, and this book, you can’t unknow. Would’ve given it five stars except she lost me at the very end when one of the paragraphs came off way too reductive (e.g., blaming colonialism for homosexuality - totally lost me and her credibility, momentarily, on that one given homosexuality has been around since probably Adam and Eve). Otherwise, a deeply profound and compelling book stacked and supported by a ton of research, all fully documented with footnotes and a long bibliography. Lots to be learned here and great antiracism material for discussion and debate. The big question is who is courageous enough to be “woke” enough to listen and wrestle with all she has provided. I beg all people to listen (with the exception of that one paragraph I mentioned). Listening might save our planet and our species!
