Summary of Hood Feminism

"Hood Feminism" by Mikki Kendall is a book that explores the intersectionality of race, gender, and class in feminism. Kendall argues that mainstream feminism often fails to address the unique challenges faced by women of color, low-income women, and other marginalized groups. She critiques the focus on issues such as workplace discrimination and reproductive rights, while neglecting issues such as affordable housing, access to quality education, and gun violence in communities of color. Kendall calls for a more inclusive and intersectional feminism that addresses the needs and struggles of all women, not just those who are privileged. The book challenges readers to reevaluate their understanding of feminism and advocate for a more inclusive and equitable society for all women.
