Hood feminism : notes from the women that a movement forgot Cover Image Book

Hood feminism : notes from the women that a movement forgot / Mikki Kendall.

Kendall, Mikki, (author.).

Summary:

"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. In her searing collection of essays, Mikki Kendall takes aim at the legitimacy of the modern feminist movement arguing that it has chronically failed to address the needs of all but a few women." -- Publisher's description
