what a brilliant book!! i felt so seen and noticed throughout all the chapters. a lot of the information was things that i had either inferred or already knew, but it was wonderful to see it expanded on, and it eased the gaslighting that so many woc and i face today. loved it.

5.0

The book is deep, to-the-point, and exhaustive, explaining the ways in which white women oppress women of color. It also does a wonderful job outlining how white women's vulnerability is both a weakness (under white patriarchy) and a weapon (against people of color)

While I recommend it to all people, I warn you: this is not an easy book. It will call you on your heels and grab your attention. Feeling uncomfortable? Perfect, that's the point. 

It focuses on Arab, Native American, Black, Asian (especially East Asian) and Latina women. I found it to be an appropriate mix of historical elements, background, the modern day, and personal experiences. In addition, the chapters are linked in a logical and understandable manner.   

I found this book to be exceptionally well-researched and comprehensive. I encourage you to read this wonderful work.

A fantastic analysis and breakdown of white feminism and it’s perpetuation of white supremacy and continual invalidation of the experiences of BIPOC women. It’s not always a easy read, but it is an important and necessary one in order to understand and combat the systems of oppression that exist in our world.
