20 Books About Black Lives Matter and Civil Rights to Put on Your Essential Reading List

Through a series of essays, Mikki Kendall looks at how White feminism fails to include women of color, and more specifically, Black women, in its agenda. She covers a range of topics from the hyper-sexualization of Black women, pop culture and media influence, and stigmas of mental health. This book is an explanation as to why a true feminist movement means the advancement of all women, not simply increasing the privilege of the women who already have the most. Hood Feminism makes a case for prioritizing intersectional solidarity.
