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.

This book digs into the many shifting ways white women have used their image of being "damsels in distress" order to protect white supremacy and their power over women of color throughout history.
The author is Australian, so while much of the book focuses on American racial issues, there is a wider global perspective many books like this don't have, and it covers the oppression of all racialized people, not just Black Americans.
There are a few ideas at the end of the book that I wish were given more page time, but that's the only quibble I have, that I wish it was longer.
