Summary:
The book critiques mainstream feminism for often overlooking the needs and issues of women of color, poor women, and LGBTQ+ individuals, arguing that true feminism must address basic needs like food security, education, and healthcare as feminist issues. It calls for an inclusive movement that fights for the rights of all women, not just a privileged few.
Key points:
1. Intersectionality: Kendall argues that feminism should include the struggles of women of color, poor women, and LGBTQ+ women, not just workplace equality and body autonomy.
