Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black | 
So many great articles in this magazine ( Oh Reader) - and good to be reminded of bell hooks. He read her work whilst studying many moons ago and would love now to revisit - as a an older woman!

pickI had to keep checking the copyright to remind myself this was written in 1989: hooks was very much ahead of her time in how she writes about feminism and race. Academic writing is tough for me, and the essays do range a bit on this aspect, but it's still much more clearly written compared to other scholarly writing. I especially liked how swiftly hooks' analysis got the heart of the social dynamics that allow sexism and racism to thrive.
#HeyJude , I've been slowly working through your old book of essays by bell hooks that your thoughtful classmates gave you on your 22nd birthday when you all went on a trip. I'm liking them very much so far. Wherever you are now, I hope it was a memorable trip and that you are preaching feminism in a time that needs it more than ever. #HeyJune @GypsyKat @Cinfhen
