trapwomanistcyborgwitch's review against another edition
5.0
Outstanding!!!
September 24 reread—-Ravenclaw Womanist Cyborg Trap Feminist! This is my tagline now lol. This is a wonderful, beautiful book that puts black women that are on the margins back in the center. The author talks about fatphobia,misogynoir in music and real life, homophobia and sexual issues that really makes you think about your privileges and priorities! I am glad that I read this book because it really breaks down black feminism in a way that is accessible and also more impactful for me and my peers. I will be applying a lot of what I read in my own life (which is the whole book lol). She also centers female hip-hop which I love!!!! Highly, Highly recommended. I would also pair this with Eloquent Rage by Dr. Brittney Cooper and Sensuous Knowledge: A Black Feminist Approach for Everyone by Minna Salami for a trifecta of great Black Feminist Books to read. All five stars and my favorite!!!!

A fantastically written nonfiction book. Bowen does a great job with the flow of her stories and the way in which she fits in her different topics and discussions. Listening to this as an audiobook was even better!
And I got to learn about what Trap Feminism is and learn more about the world, race, equity, and feminism.

This book was about things I love and scream about (feminism, still loving trap music, women friendships, bodily autonomy, knowing you’re that bitch (and a real bitch) so right up my alley. It’s nonfiction and definitely from an academic lens so not a quick read but a good read. For me sometimes it bordered too closely to self help which is why it’s not a 5. But I loved it.

Provided a brand new and informative perspective to me. I think it's easy to look at this book, as someone with a vastly different background than the author, and think it's not for you. It may not be, but that's not the point. This was both an enjoyable and insightful read. The relationships chapter on dating and friendships should be required reading.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Body shaming, Fatphobia, Racism, Sexual content, and Violence
