Hadie: As a black woman, I’ve never felt so seen yet called out from a book before. It has enlightened me on how I too can sometimes further keep my fellow black women back by adhering to respectability politics and shined light and made room for the women who have never been thought of in feminist conversations.

Angela S.: I thought I had a decent understanding of intersectional feminism but this book challenged that assumption in the *introduction*. Everyone should read this!

Rebekah R.: Very well written and important information from a different perspective than mine. I'm really enjoying the book and feel I am better for reading it.

Tasha: This book is so scholarly written. The words are so beautiful and deep. She deserves the pultzer prize for this type of writing. Mine you, I don't support the LGBTQ, which her book rallies behind here and there, but other than that this lady is an Einstein how she writes lol.

Fabian Akaeze: This is a phenomenal that gives voice to the voiceless. This book tells the story of women of color who have long being ignored by the establishment. We must understand that present day feminism is unequal and we can no longer pretend as if every woman is regarded and treated fairly.

Ambre Nulph: MOVE OVER, ROBIN DIANGELO! If you're looking to find a deeper connection in your antiracist (feminist) journey, then HOOD FEMINISM IS THE BOOK. Ms Kendall offers an in-depth looks at ALL the intersectional issues that feminism should be focusing on, through the lens of those who are most impacted by a lack of support. Reading this book will give you the impetus to start actively moving forward towards a more inclusive form of feminism.

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK. It is educational, insightful, and inspiring. Ms Kendall offers up vulnerable examples from her own life that highlight what she's speaking on, as well as giving practical info and examples of what this more inclusive feminism should look like. Plus, Ms Kendall doesn't hold back. She gets in your face with the facts because these issues are incredibly important but are still being overlooked. And we can't make progress until we help the least fortunate among us.

Feminists, and especially us white ones, must move from performative allyship to being accomplices who actively divest from white supremacy. WE MUST LISTEN TO AND LEARN FROM the "Marginalized communities [that] have already developed strategies...

Rebecca: I am IN LOVE with this book! I got the audiobook, then 3 chapters in I had to pick up the e-book so I could make notes (hence the headphones). This is definitely one I'll be revisiting several times!

Hood Feminism taught me so much about how to make my feminism more Intersectional. I thought I was doing a pretty good job of that. But y'all, there is SO. MUCH. MORE. While I understood any issue that impacts women to be a feminist issue, feminism looks different to different people. Context is needed because needs vary based on things like socioeconomic background, culture, race, gender identity and more.
👉🗨"As feminists we need to take critical, radical measures in listening to women in the poorest communities about what they want and need instead of projecting narratives of ignorance onto them. We must work to unlearn the harmful narratives we've been taught and that we created in response to white supremacy."
...
Ok. It's great I learned the things, but what am I going to DO with it? Hood Feminism restructured my brain on feminism, so I'm restructuring my fight. I've taken inventory of my giving and volunteer hours and am trying to diversify my impact to...
