Powerful, insightful, and inclusive.
I have a complex relationship with feminism because I’ve had a complex relationship with womanhood in general and with White women.
Cooper comes to feminism with a complex relationship to White women. So, while her experiences are vastly different from my own and I am neither Black nor exactly a woman, I strongly relate to much of what she said.
Feminism has always felt like an exclusive club that I’m simultaneously not welcome in but expected to be part of. But Cooper makes a case for why we should all be feminists – even those of us who feel like much of the movement doesn’t want us there.
