Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC ISBN: 9781526622402 Number of pages: 288 Weight: 412 g Dimensions: 216 x 135 mm MEDIA REVIEWS Insightful, incendiary and ultimately hopeful, Hood Feminism is both an irrefutable indictment of a movement in flux and also clear-eyed assessment of how to save it. How can feminists stand in solidarity as a movement when there is a distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others? White feminists often fail to see how race, class, sexual orientation and disability intersect with gender. The fight against racism, ableism and transmisogyny are all feminist issues. Food insecurity, the living wage and access to education are feminist issues.

It's long overdue that we drop our defenses, listen to her arguments carefully, and then change our entire way of thinking and behaving. 'My wish is that every white woman who calls herself a feminist (as I do) will read this book in a state of hushed and humble respect. 'In expertly tying the racial justice and feminist movements together, Kendall's is one of the most important books of the current moment' - Time 'Required reading for any feminist, Kendall explores why mainstream feminism neglects to see how race, class, sexual orientation and disability intersects with gender with a clear-eyed assessment of how to fix it' - Evening Standard 'It is absolutely brilliant, I think every woman should read it.' - Pandora Sykes
