Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower by Brittney Cooper

challenging emotional hopeful inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

Brittney Cooper captures her experience of Black feminism (vs white) and the social structures (patriarchy, racism, sexism) that continue to hold women - especially Black women - down. She summarizes the experience with a lesson and path forward: use the rage constructively, build things versus tearing things down. Hold each other accountable and keep pushing for better. Her writing is easy to follow, to the point and brings difficult conversations to the forefront. She backs up her observations with statistics and history and calls out everybody to do better. Recommend for anyone trying to expand their understanding of feminism, intersectionality and a poignant Black point of view.
