"Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center"

"Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center" by bell hooks emphasizes that traditional feminism often overlooked the experiences of women of color, working-class women, and others marginalized in society. Hooks advocates for a more inclusive feminism that recognizes intersecting identities like race, class, and gender. She argues that achieving true equality requires understanding and addressing these multiple layers of oppression, rather than focusing solely on the experiences of middle-class white women. The book calls for a transformation of feminist thinking to be more diverse, accessible, and representative of all women's struggles and perspectives.
