Summary of Mikki Kendall's Hood Feminism

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Mainstream feminism largely ignores the issues faced by women of color, and instead focuses on issues faced by white, middle-class women. #2 The language of feminism should reflect the fact that women’s issues vary based on race and class. #3 White women are often taught to ignore race, and the impact it has on other people. #4 Mutual respect is important when trying to build solidarity among women. While mainstream white feminists focus on an external enemy, they ignore their own harmful behavior, in favor of focusing on an external enemy.
