If, particularly as a white person, you can read bell hooks without feeling a bit uncomfortable and reflective, I just don’t know if you’re really reading. A chapter from the original text was one of my first readings in undergraduate Equity Studies (shoutout to U of T for not rooting its feminism in whiteness) and it has been the basis of my feminism for over 20 years. This book predates Crenshaw’s coining of “intersectionality, but explains the concept so clearly through the analysis of gender, race, and class. I have always appreciated the author’s capacity to bring the rigour of scholarly critical thought into plain, accessible language. At least for me. And this is no exception.

While this books covers some super important topics, some of the repetition of the main points made it hard for me to keep my attention throughout the book. Still a super important read
