![]() This book aims to address the issue of the women who are left out of feminism because within the movement, some women are oppressing others. For a movement that is meant to represent all women, it often centers on those who already have most of their needs met. Instead of a framework that focuses on helping women get basic needs met, all too often the focus is not on survival but on increasing privilege. Food insecurity and access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. We rarely talk about basic needs as a feminist issue. ![]() Mikki Kendall – “Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women White Feminists Forgot” This is the eighth book I’ve completed from the 20 Books project (I’m reviewing them slightly out of order to make the next one coincide with a fellow-blogger’s review) and also comes off my TBR 2021-2022 challenge. (results pictured on 1 July 2021 – out of those books I have read most of them for either January’s Nordics challenge or Novellas in November last year, with one left to read soon and one reading with Emma in a while). ![]() Getting through my 20 Books of Summer books (intro post here) and finally almost finishing the exciting books I bought with my Christmas 2020 / Birthday 2021 book token splurge. ![]()
