A review by emilysamp
Feminism Is for Everybody by bell hooks
This is a primer on some of the basic principles of feminism, written in an intersectional and accessible way. For anyone who has spent a decent amount of time studying the feminist movement, the content of this book won't come as a surprise, but it was still a quick and interesting read.
One thing that I learned from this book is that the fight for abortion rights is, in many ways, a white feminist issue -- for centuries, forced sterilization has been a huge reproductive rights battle for communities of color, but because white women often do not face this same issue, it has been brushed under the rug in favor of abortion rights. Interesting!
