I don’t think I’ve read a non fiction book that wasn’t for school in years but this was an incredibly important read and despite it taking me a few months to get through Im glad I got around to reading and finishing it
Covers a lot of really important topics - some of which I’d thought about before but many I also hadn’t at least not in the depth that they require
really important read **

Read it! I can't review it here. I'm still processing and wouldn't know where to start besides that I underlined a fourth of it and used a whole page of tabs.

If you’re a feminist you should read this book, especially if you are a white person. Mikki Kendall unpacks the intersection of race with gender to address how Black women and women of colour have been purposely ignored and harmed by the white feminism. This book looks at issues like poverty, parenthood, eating disorders, education, hyper-sexualization, beauty standards, housing, reproductive justice, and more. Mikki’s writing is also really engaging and she makes these big topics approachable though that’s not to say it won’t be uncomfortable but that’s what allows us to grow. There’s lots to learn from this book and Black feminist thought. It’s an important reminder that there is a difference between being an ally and being an accomplice. If your feminism isn’t intersectional it’s not feminism, it’s white supremacy.
