Absolutely essential for all feminists and antiracists. hooks holds nothing back in her intersectional criticisms the American Civil Rights and feminist movements. ( )

Enlightening, appalling and enraging. Come on white feminists - we need to do better than this! ( )

Some heavy topics in here, but an excellent book. I guess I don't feel it's quite 5 stars, because it felt more like reading a dissertation or other academic paper more than any other sort of book, and that made it rather slow for me.

Still, worth the time and attention, Bell Hooks is awesome! ( )

Ain’t I a Woman is fantastic. I hope it is already, but if it’s not, this book needs to be part of every conversation about feminism, every Women’s Studies class. In Ain’t I a Woman, hooks discusses the history of Black women in America. From objectification to dehumanization to cultural and gender divisions… hooks shares a side of history that gets buried beneath racism, sexism, and self-interest.

This book is not written for white women. Ain’t I a Woman can be enlightening for white women, but it is a call for Black women to keep fighting for what they believe in and keep their hope. The ending paragraphs say it best – those who are racist, sexist, or elitist aren’t truly feminist. Much of the feminist agenda has been driven in selfishness rather than the desire to dismantle the system and rebuild something new and better. Ain’t I a Woman was first published in 1981 – but 40 years later, it is still disappointingly relevant.

This book is an absolute must read for anyone who wants to call themself a feminist. It challenges the movement as it has been known and calls for true solidarity, welcoming, discourse, and definitive change. These days, we call it “intersectional feminism” but even that is not enough. Conversations about sexism need to include conversations about racism, elitism, ableism, antisemitism, ageism... all of it. Every prejudice, ever seed of hate. Between intricately crafted essays about Black women’s experience during slavery to the constant betrayals of both Black men and white women of Black women.

I can’t say it better than bell hooks. She doesn’t care about hurting anyone’s feelings because change is too important for that. I hope folks read this one, and after they read it, they analyze their own activism and motivation. It’s a powerful work, well-researched and well-spoken. ( )

For Rosa Bell, my mother --
who told me when I was a child that she had once written poems -- that I had inherited my love of reading and my longing to write from her.

[Introduction] At a time in American history when black women in every area of the country might have joined together to demand social equality for women and a recognition of the impact of sexism on our social status, we were by and large silent.
In a retrospective examination of the black female slave experience, sexism looms as large as racism as an oppressive force in the lives of black women.
