Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women White Feminists Forgot is a much-needed check for White women who claim to be feminist. It’s more than having a seat at the table or being paid the same as your male colleagues — basic needs like access to quality education, medical and reproductive rights, and safe housing are just some of the major issues often absent from discussions about feminism. In the book, Mikki Kendall explores why each of these tenets is critical to feminism and how they have often been ignored or minimized in the discussion, yet have large impacts on marginalized communities. While I have long considered myself to be a supporter of feminist ideas and an advocate for equal playing fields, this book was a welcome reality check — my idea of feminism is too narrow and my perspective demands expansion.
