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

4.0

challenging emotional informative medium-paced

---

An extremely intelligent and eye opening look at the instection of Black Women and Feminisim in America, from when Black people were taken as slaves and forcibly brought to this country and going all the way to the early 1980s, when this was originally published. Bell Hooks expertly details the specific hardships faced by Black Women that tended to get overlooked by both mainstream society and even supposedly feminist groups.
This book is very well researched and very important reading.
