Today's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream ​feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but ​food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care ​are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, ​but on increasing privilege for the few. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only ​exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying ​the title. Moreover, prominent White feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard ​to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we ​stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some ​women are oppressing others?


In her searing collection of essays, Mikki Kendall takes aim at the legitimacy of the modern ​feminist movement arguing that it has chronically failed to address the needs of all but a few ​women. Drawing on her own experiences with hunger, violence, and hypersexualization, along ​with incisive commentary on politics, pop culture, the stigma of mental health, and more, Hood ​Feminism delivers an irrefutable indictment of a movement in flux. An unforgettable debut, ​Kendall has crafted a ferocious clarion call to all would-be feminists to live out the true mandate ​of the movement in thought and in deed.
