Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot is Mikki Kendall's examination of how mainstream feminist movements have historically overlooked the needs and voices of Black women, poor women, and other marginalized communities. Rather than advancing a single ideology, Kendall documents the gaps between feminist theory and the daily realities of women navigating poverty, food insecurity, housing instability, and systemic racism.

The book draws on personal narrative, social commentary, and historical context to argue that feminism cannot be separated from broader justice work. Kendall addresses reproductive rights, labor exploitation, domestic violence, and policing - showing how these issues affect women differently depending on race and class. She critiques both mainstream feminism's blind spots and the gatekeeping that has excluded working-class women and women of color from leadership in women's movements.

This is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand contemporary feminist discourse and its limitations. The work challenges readers to consider whose feminism gets centered and whose is left behind.
