Verified PurchaseIntersectional feminism at its best. It made me aware of my own shortcomings when teaching feminist theory.
Understanding feminism as a political commitment rather than an identity treat is utterly important, and this book makes clear why. Reading on her current blog I can see that she maintains most of the statements that she first made in this book, which I have found really helpful in my classroom, research, and approach to a possible change.
bell hooks essays changed my life 4 years ago and I will be forever grateful. As she often says: "Patriarchy knows no gender," and these essays are a must for every human being.

5.0 out of 5 stars A timelessness book on feminism
Verified PurchaseThe feminist movement has been the longest global political movement that has yet to be fully implemented among societies. Bell Hooks, from margin to center, is a call to action wherever you have the possibility to build a better world.
