5.0

A fantastic analysis and breakdown of white feminism and it’s perpetuation of white supremacy and continual invalidation of the experiences of BIPOC women. It’s not always a easy read, but it is an important and necessary one in order to understand and combat the systems of oppression that exist in our world.

anniefwrites's review against another edition

challenging informative medium-paced

Hamad covers a lot of ground with this book--from history to representation in the media, from workplace conflict to current events. I was grateful to learn about this topic from someone who is both passionate and critical. As a reader, I think having subheadings would have helped me keep track of the topics being discussed, but in general, it's a book that I'll be processing and applying over time. Learned a lot, and lots more to learn.
