Summary of Hood Feminism 

4.8 . 4689 reviews

Short summary

Feminism is a concept that has been heavily criticized and frequently misunderstood. Several people who claim to be feminists are also guilty of not adequately representing marginalized women who lack basic amenities. This summary is about the community’s health as a whole, with a specific focus on supporting the most vulnerable members. Mikki Kendall is a speaker, writer, and blogger. As an accomplished public speaker, she has discussed race, feminism, violence in Chicago, tech, pop culture, and social media on various platforms across America. She co-edited the anthology, “Hidden Youth,” and is part of the Hugo-nominated team of editors at Fireside Magazine. This summary draws on Kendall’s experiences and explains why an intersectional approach to feminism is key to improving relationships between communities. “Feminism is the work that you do and the people you do it for who matters more than anything else.” ~ Mikki Kendall

Feminism is a necessary movement for the growth of every community

Listen the first key point
00:00

Mikki Kendall’s first exposure to feminism was through her grandmother. She held firmly to her belief in specific gender roles and always worked, like her foremothers before her. Kendall’s grandmother also knew the importance of education and mandated it for her four daughters and any children around.

In her early years, Kendall realized that she did not enjoy fitting into situations. Initially, she thought there was some reward for being ladylike, but she soon realized that she was still not safe from sexism, racism, and other violence. Rather than be content with the many things happening around her, she learned to defend herself in various situations.

Critiques of mainstream feminism tend to get more attention when they come from outside, but the reality is that the internal conflicts are how feminism grows and becomes more effective. Kendall noticed that feminists rarely talk about basic needs as a feminist issue. Her feminism became rooted in an awareness of how race, gender, and class affect a woman’s ability to be educated, receive medical care, gain and keep employment, and get other necessary amenities.
Food insecurity and access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are feminist issues.
This summary looks at the many racist stereotypes that have developed over time and examines how a more inclusive community can be created. Keep reading to learn the truth about feminism and uncover all the hidden notes that have been forgotten over time.
second key point

All women deserve equal rights in spite of their race or sexual orientation

Many irrelevant debates have taken over the discourse surrounding modern feminism, which has led many people to question the legitimacy of the movement. Marginalized women have experienced an increase in various problems surrounding them, but these are rarely highlighted as feminist issues.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
