Solidarity among women is essential for progress from "summary" of Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall

Solidarity among women is not just a nice idea, it is a necessity for progress. When women come together to support each other, amazing things can happen. This sense of community is especially crucial for women living in marginalized communities where they face unique struggles and challenges. In 'Hood Feminism', Mikki Kendall emphasizes the importance of women supporting each other across race, class, and other differences. She highlights how solidarity is not just about fighting for individual rights, but about working together to dismantle the systems of oppression that affect all women. By standing together, women can create real change and push for a more equitable society. Kendall also points out that solidarity does not mean ignoring or dismissing the differences among women. Instead, it means recognizing and respecting these differences while still coming together for a common cause. By acknowledging and addressing the intersecting issues that women face, such as racism, poverty, and sexism, women can work towards a more inclusive and effective movement for change. Furthermore, Kendall stresses that solidarity is not just about words, but about actions. It requires women to actively support and uplift each other, to listen to each other's experiences, and to advocate for each other's rights. This kind of tangible support is essential for creating a stronger, more united front against the systems of oppression that seek to divide and conquer.
