This book was one of the most eye-opening lenses into feminism I've read. The information was presented succinctly without being overwhelming, but definitely provides pages and pages of evidence, statistics, and historical facts to illustrate the need for intersectional feminism that centers Black women in particular, and communities of color in general. A great reference book, and a great intro into the huge topic of intersectional feminism and how feminism could and should pave the way to a better world.

Very informative. I felt that I learnt so much in a small book. The chapters were short but I did need breaks after reading some chapters

This book is required reading for anyone who calls themselves a feminist, and especially for white feminists. It's helped change my perspective and has given me a better understanding about what intersectional feminism means. Informative. Well written. And super important. Highly recommend to anyone looking to be better and do better.

Fantastic book- essential read!!! Cannot praise Kendall enough. This book completely deconstructs the idea of white feminism and shows how issues such as poverty, education, medical racism and gun violence are all feminist issues, but are often ignored as they do not affect the privileged majority. So many impactful sentences that I will take with me. Really highlights the importance of doing the actual work instead of simply labelling yourself an ally.  Accessible even for someone like me who does not have an extensive knowledge about the USA. Need to come back to this again and again.
