Concurrently, they know that many males in their social groups are exploited and oppressed. ”Women in lower class and poor groups, particularly those who are non-white, would not have defined women’s liberation as women gaining social equality with men since they are continually reminded in their everyday lives that all women do not share a common social status. For example, here is a quote about how she interrogates why feminism is not just about equality with men, even though we often market it that way: Her writing, while intelligent and replete with critical analysis, remains accessible and close to the human lived experience. She argues that we should conceptualize feminism as a radical, revolutionary movement as opposed to an individual lifestyle. She encourages us to deeply consider how racism and classism intersect with sexism to further marginalize women of color and poor women. I love that hooks’s writing always takes mainstream feminist thinking and elevates it. Another iconic feminist text from bell hooks.
