I highly suggest this one, a friend of mine has read it and she was showing me parts of the book. It’s in my “to read” list.
When I read this I kept anticipating some twist where the author would turn around and say “but… actually none of your problems matter and all the problems in the world is your personal fault”. But the twist never came, and I think it was the first time I read a feminist author that seemed to genuinely care about me as a person. Not as an instrument for other purposes, but just because I’m a person in this world.
bell hooks, rest in peace. truly an incredible author, i originally learned of her from the news she had passed away :(
just wanted to post to let people know that she styled her name literally “bell hooks”, as all lowercase
I’m in the process of reading this (and a dozen other books lol). Interesting so far. Haven’t formed opinions yet. But definitely appreciate Bell Hooks bell hooks for having tackled this subject.
Hey, just as an FYI, bell hooks specifically asked that her name not be capitalized. Takes a bit of getting used to, but wanted to pop a message in so that people knew the spelling on the cover shown here is deliberate.
I’m gonna link this in the sidebar.
