Hood Feminism

'It is absolutely brilliant; I think every woman should read it' PANDORA SYKES; THE HIGH LOW 'My wish is that every white woman who calls herself a feminist will read this book in a state of hushed and humble respect ... Essential reading' ELIZABETH GILBERT All too often the focus of mainstream feminism is not on basic survival for the many; but on increasing privilege for the few. Meeting basic needs is a feminist issue. Food insecurity; the living wage and access to education are feminist issues. The fight against racism; ableism and transmisogyny are all feminist issues. White feminists often fail to see how race; class; sexual orientation and disability intersect with gender. How can feminists stand in solidarity as a movement when there is a distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others? Insightful; incendiary and ultimately hopeful; Hood Feminism is both an irrefutable indictment of a movement in flux and also clear-eyed assessment of how to save it.
