Finally got around to reading this and damn. Super informative and engaging look at intersectional feminism. Highly recommend this to anyone who considers themselves to be a feminist.

Does a fantastic job of exploring intersectionality between socioeconomic status and gender issues. The connections Kendall points out will live rent free in my head when addressing inequality.

I don’t think I was the target audience, not saying that there was but it felt like this was for the average left leaning white woman who wants to be an ally.
However….. as a woc i think sometimes we think or I think with our lived experience we don’t need to contextualize further or name the systems etc etc. engaging in critical discussion is still important!
from feminism, to food insecurity and sovereignty, housing, sexualization of black and brown women, to relationships. there was a lot of experiences that Mikki Kendall shared and I found extremely relatable, especially her views on respectability politics. although i feel well-versed on womanism, intersectionality and white feminism being weaponized against people like me, i still learned a lot and i think it was worth the read.
some quotes that stood out to me:
“the stress of respectability is unparalleled….” &” …whiteness as a construct that will never approve of us.”
