Colonize This!: Young Women of Color on Today's Feminism by Daisy Hernández, Bushra Rehman

5.0

I appreciated hearing from a wide variety of women about what feminism is or isn't to them. It helped me to understand that for one, there truly isn't one correct way to define feminism. Many of the essays point to the strength of women that is somehow often perceived as weakness. Often people, especially white feminists, have overlooked certain ways of life or have judged or even belittled them because the women are still conforming to some traditional gender roles.

I learned a lot from the book, but also was pointed to other sources that explore feminism from many perspectives rather than from the traditional white feminism that many of us have been exposed to here in the U.S. for our entire lives.
