Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

The "Feminism for the 99%: A Manifesto" is a groundbreaking book that challenges the status quo of today's feminist movement.

Written by Mikki Kendall, an influential black feminist, this book offers a fresh perspective on feminism that prioritizes the needs of everyday women.

The author argues that mainstream feminism has a blind spot when it comes to meeting basic needs such as food security, quality education, safe neighborhoods, and access to healthcare.

Kendall contends that these issues are not only important for women's empowerment but also essential for building a more equitable society. The book is a powerful critique of the modern feminist movement, highlighting how it has failed to address the needs of marginalized communities and prioritize the interests of the wealthy few over the many.

Kendall also tackles the issue of intersectionality, emphasizing that feminism must take into account the intersections of race, class, sexuality, and ability in order to truly be inclusive. Throughout the book, Kendall's writing is passionate, insightful, and thought-provoking.

She challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about feminism and to embrace a more inclusive and equitable vision of gender equality.

The "Feminism for the 99%: A Manifesto" is an essential read for anyone interested in building a more just and equal society.
