Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

Author: Mikki Kendall

“Mikki’s book is a rousing call to action for today’s feminists. It should be required reading for everyone.”–Gabrielle Union, author of We’re Going to Need More Wine

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. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others?
