I haven’t been able to put this book down. It’s been helping me internalize my experience as a black woman in America. Here’s one of my favorite quotes from Bell Hooks about Freedom: “Social equality that grants all humans the opportunity to shape their destinies in the most healthy and communally productive way can only be a complete reality when our world is no longer racist or sexist”

I love this book!!! I feel like a lot of feminist books refuse to acknowledge the prevalence of racism in feminism in favor of repeating the same old “I am woman, hear me Roar” stuff. its THE reason that I discovered intersectional feminism.

It's more salient analysis of black women's postionality in the US that I feel is absolutely necessary in these times.

Read this book!!! “ ‘You have to give people who are new to this movement and to activism in general some way in.’ For some people, that’s going to a protest, or seeing a documentary, or reading a book, that gets them thinking, ‘Maybe I can do something.’ And so no, I don’t believe one person’s vote amounts to shit. But it can get people in the mindset of recognizing they can fight back against the Powers That Be in some way.”

"Work expands to fill all possible time" completely changed the way I look at society, work, myself. Plus all the feminist stuff in there, too.
