Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot
Mikki Kendall (Author)
“A potent and electrifying critique of today’s feminist movement announcing a fresh new voice in black feminism – Today’s feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. “
