Feminist Theory
Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center | bell hooks
When Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center was first published in 1984, it was welcomed and praised by feminist thinkers who wanted a new vision. Even so, individual readers frequently found the theory "unsettling" or "provocative." Today, the blueprint for feminist movement presented in the book remains as provocative and relevant as ever. Written in hooks's characteristic direct style, Feminist Theory embodies the hope that feminists can find a common language to spread the word and create a mass, global feminist movement.

I really loved this book, the criticism to the mainstream views on feminism were a eye opening type of moment to me.
Equality between the sexes can never be achieved unless men are equal themselves, which means we can't be feminists and ignore the other problems our society has.
The only "flaw" for me was how North American centered this felt. Still made a great job to help us see from many povs.

“There will be no mass-based feminist movement as long as feminist ideas are understood only by a well-educated few.“

Rest in peace, bell hooks. You indeed were, and will always be, a mentor and inspiration to the many, rather than the few.

Scochrane26 Just saw on a friend‘s fb post. I‘m so sad. I was hoping to meet her a few yrs ago at the Ky book fair, but she wasn‘t at her table while I was there. I will continue to read her books—I‘ve only read 2. Such a great example for all of us. 2y

If we as women want change in all aspects of our lives, we must recognize that capitalism is uniquely capable of co-opting piecemeal change .... Capitalism is capable of taking our visionary changes and using them against us. --Jeanne Gross
