bell hooks is foundational reading for feminist theory. When viewed through the lens of a "primer" for the non-feminist, I can see the book's value. I found some sections repetitive, but the structure of the book is like a textbook, and I could see why the repetition needed to be there.

For myself, the book is only 4 stars because I am not the core audience. The repetition described above was necessary, but I personally found it grating. There were passages I highlighted because they explained ideas I have struggled to articulate when speaking with laymen.

Reading this book helped me crystallize ideas I felt but couldn't speak. It is a helpful and necessary book, but readers need to approach it with an understanding of its purpose.

Again, should be required reading.

Thank you Bell Hooks for the comprehensive overview of feminist thinking and politics. Accessible and important work for the masses.
