Hood Feminism

Notes From The Women White Feminists Forgot

The focus of feminism is too often not on the survival of the many, but on increasing privileges for the few. Meeting basic needs is a feminist issue.

Food insecurity, a living wage and access to education are feminist issues. Fighting racism, competence and transmisogyny are all feminist issues.

White feminists often fail to see how cultural background, class, sexual orientation and disability are related to gender. How can feminists as a movement show solidarity when some women are likely to oppress others?

Insightful, incendiary and ultimately hopeful, Hood Feminism is both an incontrovertible indictment of a movement in flux and a lucid assessment of how to save it.
