Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall
challenging
informative
medium-paced
This is my first foray into feminist non-fiction so I don't feel like I have the ability to rate this book on accuracy but I think it was a really educational read, being confrontational but important. It focused heavily on the US, which I did expect going into it, and I found that while some things didn't have much relevance to outside the US, there were some very good concepts and points made that are universally relevant. I think this is an important read for everyone, but particulalry white people, to ensure we are considering intersectionality in our feminism and constantly improving in our allyship.
Graphic: Misogyny, Racism, and Sexism
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Miscarriage, and Physical abuse
