Ain't I A Woman?: Black Women And Feminism by bell hooks
This seminal work in feminist theory examines the impact of sexism and racism on Black women throughout American history. It challenges the marginalization of Black women within both the feminist movement and civil rights discourse, arguing that the intersection of their racial and gender identities creates unique forms of oppression. The book critiques the mainstream feminist movement for its focus on white women's experiences and calls for a more inclusive approach that addresses the diverse and complex realities of Black women's lives. Through historical analysis and cultural critique, it advocates for a feminism that is truly universal and attentive to the ways in which race, class, and gender intersect.
