Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot
Description
Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall is a galvanizing call for an intersectional feminism that centers everyday needs—food, housing, safety, education, and health. With sharp analysis and story‑driven reporting, Kendall challenges readers to see how issues often labeled “social” are fundamentally feminist fights, especially for Black women and other women of color.
A New York Times bestseller, this edition from Penguin Books brings together essays that are both urgent and accessible—perfect for book clubs, classrooms, and anyone reimagining what solidarity looks like.
