Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism
by bell hooks
Beautifully written, clear, and sonorous. Timeless (unfortunately). Distinguishes between black and white, as well as men and women for a Punnett square of privilege and experience through the lenses of racism and class. There are strengths to presenting a unified force for peace and unity as one (all women, all men, all blacks, all humans) but there is a breakdown when 1. too few voices speak for the entire group (how can they voice my experience or my needs?) 2. those exponents strive to gain power, rather than demolish, within the restrictive and outcasting patriarchy. What's the point of fighting to be the leader of a broken, corrupt system?
