ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall is a critique of mainstream feminism, which often overlooks the needs of marginalized women, particularly those in the hood. The book argues that mainstream feminism frequently focuses on the concerns of privileged women, neglecting issues crucial for marginalized communities, including food insecurity, access to education, and safe neighborhoods. Kendall advocates for an intersectional approach that recognizes how race, gender, and class affect women's ability to access resources. Hood Feminism calls for a broadened scope of feminism to encompass the concerns of all women, advocating for their basic needs and challenging harmful stereotypes.
