Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women that a Movement Forgot

This product was recommended by Robert Malcom from Men’s Wedding Bands

This New York Times best-seller is a must-read for feminists all around the world as it’s a fantastic text that addresses how feminism has historically (and recently) failed to embrace inclusivity, intersectionality, and racism within the very same movement. Through her unflinching critique of today’s feminist movement, Kendall makes an invigorating call to action to all women who are part of the ‘white feminism’ movement whose only purpose is to increase and broaden an existing privilege. Overall, it is a truly eye-opening read that all feminists would likely find extremely interesting.

Little Women (150th Anniversary Edition)

This product was recommended by Joel Phillips from Home Guide Corner

I recommend this to my feminist friends for a couple of reasons. First, the book exposes the various struggles that women face as they try to find their way in the world. The characters are complex and flawed, which makes them feel real and relatable. Second, Alcott provides an excellent example of sisterhood and female solidarity. The sisters are supportive of each other through thick and thin, and they refuse to let society dictate how they should behave or what they should value. Finally, “Little Women” is a feminist classic for a reason. It offers a positive view of womanhood that is sorely needed in today’s society.
