In Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot, Mikki Kendall critiques mainstream feminism for often overlooking the needs of marginalized women, particularly women of color. Through a series of essays, Kendall addresses issues such as poverty, housing insecurity, and gun violence—topics she argues are essential feminist concerns yet frequently neglected. Drawing from her personal experiences and broader societal observations, Kendall advocates for a more inclusive and intersectional feminist movement that prioritizes the challenges faced by all women, not just the privileged few.
