Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism by bell hooks

challenging emotional informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

 

"The women's rights movement had not drawn Black and white women close together. Instead, it exposed the fact that white women were not willing to relinquish their support of white supremacy to support the interests of all women." 

​"Let it be stated unequivocally that the American white woman has had a better opportunity to live a free and fulfilling life, both mentally and physically, than any other group in the United States excluding her white husband. Thus, any attempt to analogize Black oppression with the plight of American white woman has all the validity of comparing the neck of a hanging man with the rope-burned hands of an amateur mountain climber."
