- "contemporary black women felt they were asked to choose between a black movement that primarily served the interests of black male patriarchs and a women’s movement which primarily served the interests of racist white women."

Black women dealt with “A liberation movement that’s inherently sexist, and a feminism movement that’s inherently racist”
Ain’t I a Woman! 白男主导的文学世界如此狭隘，不被看见的世界如此辽阔。见bell hooks入
The only way to attain true equality is to topple all the existing power structures of race , class and the sex so that only oppression or domination is eliminated.⭐️
大学接触的第一批黑人女性文学，把我从白人男性自我怜悯酸楚可怜的男子气概文学中解救出来，影响我到现在。🕯️
很棒的black feminism入门读物，不过历史故事比较多，理论少了点
偶尔读着会有疑惑，觉得史实论据充分吗，这个结论武断吗
从黑人女性视角看待美国近现代女权运动，分析女权、种族和阶级议题相互交缠的复杂关系，有些观点很有意思，但行文可以再简洁一些，车轱辘话翻来覆去说，看得有点疲劳，结构也可以再清晰一点。
hook’s definition of feminism: it is a commitment to eradicating the ideology of domination that permeates Western culture on various levels—”sex, race, and class, to name a few—and a commitment to reorganizing U.S. society so that the self-development of people can take precedence over imperialism, economic expansion, and material desires.
