Mikki Kendall takes a sledgehammer to the ivory tower of modern feminism. In this searing collection, she exposes how the movement has failed to address the everyday struggles of women of color, the working class, and the marginalized. From food insecurity to lack of access to quality education and healthcare, Kendall argues these are feminist issues - yet ones the privileged elite choose to ignore. With raw personal stories and blistering social commentary, she demands we build a feminism that fights for all, not just the few.
