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

dark emotional informative inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

5 stars

This is one of the most important books I’ve ever read & should be required reading for everyone. 

A heart wrenching and honest perspective on the continuing oppression of black women. hooks’ criticism of white feminism, white supremacy & the patriarchy is so well researched & presented in this book. the writing is incredibly readable, thought-provoking & informative. 

an in-depth look at the intersection of racism, capitalism, classism & imperialism. though it can be a bit redundant at times, and obviously some facts are dated as this book was written 40 years ago, for the most part it holds true.
