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.
