Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall

challenging hopeful reflective slow-paced

3.5

While I understand the framework from which Kendall operates throughout her arguments in this book, I don’t see feminism through the same lens. To me, feminist issues are human issues, and they always have been, so for this book to state that feminists don’t know this seemed a bit odd. The causes she claimed were feminist in nature were also pretty liberal causes that I think many feminists (including myself) were already apprised on and believed in fighting for. I know that’s not true for everyone but reading this book led me to wondering why some feminists hadn’t espoused these causes to their own.
