Description

A powerful critique of the modern feminist movement, Hood Feminism offers a fresh perspective on the issues that matter most to everyday women. Mikki Kendall argues that the movement has chronically failed to address the needs of all but a few women, and that this blind spot has exacerbated the problems of internecine discord and women rebuffing the label. Kendall takes aim at the legitimacy of the modern feminist movement, highlighting the need for a more inclusive and intersectional approach. She examines the ways in which mainstream feminists often overlook basic needs such as food security, access to quality education, and medical care, and argues that these issues are, in fact, feminist issues. This searing collection of essays challenges readers to think critically about the state of the feminist movement and its impact on women's lives.
