Hood Feminism

Mikki Kendall argues that the modern feminist movement has a significant blind spot: it often overlooks the basic needs of many women. Issues like food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and healthcare are fundamental feminist concerns that are frequently ignored. Kendall challenges feminists to address these systemic problems and consider how race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender, advocating for a more inclusive and equitable movement.
