White Feminism: From the Suffragettes to Influencers and Who They Leave Behind
Written “with passion and insight about the knotted history of racism within women’s movements and feminist culture” (Rebecca Traister, New York Times bestselling author), this whip-smart, timely, and impassioned call for change is perfect for fans of Good and Mad and Hood Feminism.Addressing today’s conversation about race, empowerment, and inclusion in America, Koa Beck, writer and former editor-in-chief of Jezebel, boldly examines the history of feminism, from the true mission of the suffragists to the rise of corporate feminism with clear-eyed scrutiny and meticulous detail. She also examines overlooked communities—including Native American, Muslim, transgender, and more—and their ongoing struggles for social change.With “intellectually smart and emotionally intelligent” (Patrisse Cullors, New York Times bestselling author and Black Lives Matter cofounder) writing, Beck meticulously documents how elitism and racial prejudice have driven the narrative of feminist discourse. Blending pop culture, primary historical research, and first-hand storytelling, she shows us how we have shut women out of the movement, and what we can do to correct our course for a new generation.Combining a scholar’s understanding with hard data and razor-sharp cultural commentary, White Feminism “is a rousing blueprint for a more inclusive ‘new era of feminism’” (TheBoston Globe).

Wow! This book flipped my life upside down.
First of all, this book is filled with FACTS and research. This is what I wanted What Would Frida Do? A Guide to Living Boldly to be. Second, it should get 25 stars. It should be required reading in high school.
Back in 2008, I declared myself a feminist. At that time, this was the test 1) Do you believe that women are oppressed? 2) Do you believe that oppression should end? If you answered yes to both questions, you were a feminist.
The author in this book has asked an important question: What does it mean to be a feminist today and what are its aims? If you march in a woman's parade, what exactly are you marching for? Are you marching for advancement in a white collar job, to shatter the glass ceiling? Are you marching for paid maternity leave and protection? Are you marching so that elderly women will be provided Social Security in their mature years? Are you marching for access to birth control options? Are you marching to close the gender pay gap? Are you marching because women have little to no legal protections in cases of an abusive partner? Are you marching because some women are missing or are murdered and the police and media have not cared? If we make it this far, the women look at each other and say, "Well, no. Guess I can't be bothered! See ya!" This is an inherent problem in today's society which places so much attention on the individual. There are so many people who see others suffering and can't bother themselves because it doesn't involve them personally so don't get involved, don't waste your time.
I want to be clear. Not all people are like this. When I was at Thomas M. Cooley Law School in 2010, I was in a program for non-traditional students with classes held at 6 pm during the weekdays or during the weekends. At times, women (including women of color) would show up to class with their children. It is impossible to find a high-quality daycare after 6 pm on weekdays and on weekends especially on the budget of a student. The school finally sent around an email stating that no children could be in class after a white male student decided to take his "child" who was 15-16 years old to class. At this time, I had no children, but I walked down to the student council and formally put forth an official proposal to have on-site daycare. This country and this world needs more leaders. We see other people suffering. You have a moral obligation to speak up. What good is having a first amendment right if we are just hitting like buttons and talking to ourselves?
In this book, the author also talks about COVID-19 and how it has disproportionately impacted minorities and the poor. The Latinx and black communities have been the hardest hit. The author spoke that many of the jobs performed by the workers in these communities could not be performed from home (someone has to drive the bus or work first shift at the bakery or deliver packages). The government also said that the first line of defense is to wash your hands. However, the government took it for granted that that would assume that all people have access to clean water. That got me curious about something. Although I have never been on food stamps, my understanding is that you can only purchase certain items (fruits, vegetables, canned tuna, rice, bread, etc.). So I started looking up what you can get if you have SNAP or WIC. Guess what? You cannot buy hand soap! That's right. If you are poor and disadvantaged and fighting starvation, you are not entitled to the first line of defense against coronavirus which is hand soap. If you are reading this, I STRONGLY encourage you to stop liking and hashtagging garbage and contact the USDA (US Department of Agriculture) who is responsible for these programs to care enough about our vulnerable populations (which includes the poor) and provide them with access to hand soap. This is their Twitter handle: @USDANutrition
The author also spoke about the media. Before this book, I had no idea that so many Native American women went murdered or missing. Beck raised an excellent point--The media filters what we see. Society as a whole doesn't have a real clue what is going on because the media isn't reporting on important societal issues. This is especially important today with less and less people having traditional cable TV and rely on internet outlets for their news. Where are we supposed to be finding out about these atrocities? My takeaway is question. Question everything. Question what you know. Question what you are seeing on the news. Find out what is going on. Ignorance isn't power. It is suffering. The author also touched on how publicly traded businesses would refuse to fire people with numerous complaints against them because they were "too important to the company." Corporations (by the way) are really great at lying. What "too important to the company" means is that upper management is comfortable with the offender. They don't know the accuser. The accuser is expendable. If the corporation actually gets caught, they have canned answers.
The author is incredibly brave. She goes after big companies and big names. She will name names. She has opened my eyes. Open yours too! Please I'm begging you to read this book. Change your life. Change your society. Change the future.
There is so much more to this book, and it is all backed up with facts including citations. But I will talk about 2 more points before I sign off:
1) The author talks about "the pipeline defense" which I am SO glad that she did. This is also canned corporate speak (aka polished lies) where a corporation says we can't fill that position because there just aren't any qualified women. If there isn't a single qualified female, why? Why hasn't this institution supported them? Why hasn't this institution made it a priority to retain them? What is the plan to correct this? "Some day" or "We are working on it" is not an answer.
2) The author had a section in the book about privilege, that this term is kind of just thrown around as an excuse. Personally, I don't see this term as a problem because this is how I view that term: There are many people who think gender and/or race aren't a problem. In fact, there are many people who think that women and minorities are unfairly protected and given unfair preferences. If I say that I acknowledge privilege, I am acknowledging that there is a problem which is step one. I acknowledge that there are people in the world and in the United States who do not have the same experiences as other people in the United States. I am not going to criticize someone for taking a knee during the national anthem because no one has racially profiled me, stopped me for no reason, forcibly removed me from my land, or frisked me without a warrant. I know there is a problem in the US. My eyes are open. For me, step one is complete. I acknowledge there is a problem. Step 2. Do something about it.

January 30, 2021The reviews by folks asking "so what do we DO" missed the entire point of this necessary book on feminism. We break down systems as a whole, as opposed to believing our individual "doing" makes a difference.
Beck's outstanding work breaks down what white feminism is specifically: a consumerist-driven, individualist belief in bettering oneself and how that is the means forward. The reality is it's not; it plays into the same systems of oppression that have always held down anyone who is without power. This is a book about how intersectionality gets included in the discourse but isn't acted upon. About how privileged women use that label to excuse behaviors or actions without ever considering or acknowledging the work needing to be done on a broad, systemic level to create meaningful change for disadvantaged genders, people of color, folks who aren't middle or upper class, disabled, or otherwise marginalized.
Pair this with Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot, ESPECIALLY if you're a white woman who proudly calls herself a feminist. It's much, much, much more than your belief in individual choice and the rights to exercise that choice; that's where we fail over and over.

Thank you Simon & Schuster Canada and NetGalley for sending me a copy of White Feminism by Koa Beck. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This book to me is truly a book every person needs to read and absorb truly. I am a woman of colour and for the longest time have felt so scared to bring up my issues, my women of colour issues because for so long I've been surrounded by white feminists. (For those of you new to the club, I don't mean being white and being a feminist i mean the ideology of "feminism" rooted purely in white women's issues and not in minorities). I felt like my voice didn't matter and that my opinions weren't valid. Along with statistical backing and first-hand experience, Beck is able to weave us through an intricate yet simple look at our past, present and hopes for the future.
I have always been on the front lines rooting for intersectional feminism but it wasn't until this book that I truly realized how subconsciously even in everyday occurrences, there were instances I was really conforming to the needs and wants of white feminists or non-feminists and I had no idea. I silenced myself in conversations about racial injustice in feminism because it makes people "uncomfortable", I let others dictate what I wrote about, even the kinds of books I reviewed. I've always been socially aware and conscious but now I feel open to the realization that I do not have to keep making myself smaller or conforming just to fit someone else's idea of who I am supposed to be as a woman, a brown woman, a young woman, a plus-sized woman and as a person.
My e-copy of this book is filled with highlights, annotations and various notes where I just wrote "YES!!" because there was finally an explanation to what I was seeing, feeling and doing. This was not only informative but fascinating in teaching and learning just as the title suggests, about the suffragettes all the way to the 21st-century icons and who was left behind. A beautiful and deeply inspiring book by a truly inspiring authour.

Hood Feminism is a much better book - if you care about this topic (which you should), start there. What I was hoping for from this book was the history behind the present-day focus of Hood Feminism.
It makes me very sad to say that I can't continue to read this. Everything in it is true and interesting, I have no disagreement with Beck's premises and her point of view. But it's not well organized or even well edited - occasionally I find a sentence where I don't even know what she's saying, and many times a word is misused, such as someone being "imbued" to speak up. Despite each chapter having a title, which would lead you to think that there was going to be a focus, a through-line, a topic - she doesn't write a coherent chapter about that topic but hops around from thing to thing without necessarily tying it together. This book is more like a big soup pot into which all her historical knowledge has been poured and stirred, and then dipped out in ladle-fulls that lead to Alice Paul and Beyonce or Daniel Patrick Moynihan tumbling around in the same chapter. I think it would help even a fellow at the Harvard School of Government to use an outline. Just because you're wicked smart doesn't mean you can't use simple tools.
Once upon a time many decades ago, a very smart writer that I knew was reviewing something I was writing, and gave me some wise words: "Do not write when you're angry. Wait till you have calmed down and can look coldly at what you really want to say and how best to say it." I mention this not because her anger is unjustified or I have a problem with her anger. It's because you can tell this book was written at white heat and it can get in the way of effectively getting the message across. This is a message that needs to get across. Unfortunately I don't think this book gets it across.
As an aside: WHY is it that no white woman has written a critique of racism in 20th century feminism? Can't someone who's white and was THERE see what was wrong and say it? I'd like to see that book written and I'm depressed that it hasn't been written.
As a second aside: I'm not sure why she uses the term 'suffragette.' I typed a paper for a classmate once in college, decades ago, and she told me that they called themselves 'suffragists' and 'suffragette' was a derogatory term applied to them by men who were against votes for women. Either she doesn't know this, or she is using the term as a put-down. I'm not sure which.

As a Historical account of the feminist movement, particularly the involvement of white woman in this history, this book is exceptional. I’m glad it’s written. It is a history book. (Summary: well-meaning white women dropped the ball, a lot.)
My disappointment is common for this genre. I leave feeling sad without actionable things or examples to follow. 😐

By far the most comprehensive and truly intersectional feminist non-fiction book I came across.

treść jest fantastyczna, forma trochę chaotyczna, ale nadal to świetnie zriserczowana, pełna danych i badań i przykładów i historii przeprawa przez szkodliwość białego feminizmu
jak dobra i ważna jest to książka świadczą komentarze obrażonych białych „feministek”

This book is 100% required reading for anyone who's ever called themselves a feminist, specifically white women and people who've ever asserted their own privilege or a view of feminism as reaching some metaphorical corporate peak. I've already seen some reviews on here about the use of the word "white" and I'm like . . . that's the whole point. If you've ever considered intersectionality within feminism "divisive," you need this book and it will change your life.
I took a ton of notes reading this, and my biggest takeaways were around the problems of white feminism as:
- An individual pursuit rather than a collective one (ascending within the existing capitalist power structure and gaining access to resources, rather than examining what basic resources and human rights aren't afforded to marginalized groups).
- A product to be sold in a capitalist structure (selling #TheFutureIsFemale gear but again, ignoring systemic issues)
- Performative - what does "smash the patriarchy" really mean if we are measuring our success by patriarchal standards of wealth and power? Why do we assume any one single female CEO is automatically feminist? Why is one token hire "enough"?
Beck explored those points (and SO many others!) with tons of historical research, case studies, and pop cultural examples via contemporary articles. There's also a lot of practical advice about how communal organizing is the key to a more impactful and inclusive feminism. My favorite piece came in a later section of the book about how the things that were once radical are now commonplace, and how that alters our view of change as being possible within the status quo of this company or this structure. In reality, change comes from "things that will get you in trouble."
I could not recommend this book more - it's excellently researched, uncomfortable, and damning. I barely touched on all of the gems within and hope you'll pick it up! I will also note I'm not a huge nonfiction reader but really loved this.

I read "Against White Feminism" recently and this book was right next to it on the shelves so I thought it would be interesting to read it as well. I liked "Against White Feminism" a lot and for some reason that made me think I wouldn't find much to like about this book, but I actually think the two complement each other very nicely, as they focus on different aspects of white feminism and they have a different writing style. Rafia Zakaria writes with an academic style which is a little hard to parse sometimes when a lot of unfamiliar terms are thrown in, and Koa Beck writes in a slightly less formal tone and states things a few different ways when she is making an important point, which is helpful when these are complicated. Sometimes I found Beck's writing a little hard to understand because of awkward sentence construction and grammar, especially in the beginning of the book. I thought her writing got better as the book went on, and the last chapters were the best.
One major difference between the two books was that "White Feminism" focuses entirely on the US, while "Against White Feminism" gives a lot of international examples and talks about how US military and NGOs practice white feminism. "White Feminism" went into colonialism a little bit but was mostly referring to Native women in the US.
I appreciated all the examples Beck gave, from Jewish women protesting rising meat prices to the Wing exploiting workers. Like "Against White Feminism," this was a timely book with a lot of examples of more recent events such as the #MeToo movement, Women's March, and how Covid has affected poor women of color much worse. She goes into detail and makes a lot of connections and really delves into what "white feminism" is and how it defends itself, pointing out also what intersectional feminism would look like and why it is much more radical.
I really enjoyed both "White Feminism" and "Against White Feminism" and strongly recommend them both.

This was an important read. I had heard a lot recently about how feminism has always found ways to exclude women of color and in the LGBT community. Beck really showed how this has been done systemically, and how the #bossbabe brand of feminism has women often just has women exploiting other women for the sake of their bottom line or to keep their lifestyle. The book was a bit scattered, but I felt like I learned a lot. I think anyone who considers themselves a feminist and an ally needs to read this.

An important look into white feminism—who it serves, what drives it, and who it crushes.
I loved the discourse on community versus individualism.
Reading this immediately after Age of Revolutions really hammers home how hollow that latter one was for me, because for all it trumpeted how the Industrial Revolution improved lives for women (he mentions how textile work was 40% of labor pre-Industrial Revolution), it really failed to take into account all of the invisible labor women have historically born—and how the freedom from this labor is not true freedom but a displacement of work that further burdens historically oppressed populations (specifically, Black and Latine women).
Also, the discourse on women's impact in the Civil Rights Movement and other justice movements underscores this invisible labor. Sure, there's flash and bang in the speechwriting and the marching and the protests, but someone has to make the meals. Someone has to arrange for childcare or provide childcare. Someone has to lick the envelopes, type the letters, clean the clothes, keep the home, do the grocery shopping, make the grocery lists, plan the meals, etc., etc., etc. And that work often falls on women, and is economically unvalued despite being some of the MOST valuable work that is performed (look: raising children into empathetic, kind humans is a hard job).
Anywho, one of the tenants of the book that is that white women buy into white supremacy, which literally. White feminism is tied to white supremacy and capitalism (not to mention pivoting to victimhood and the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality, which is so patently false). It is gaining space for white women at the top of the pyramid amongst white men—whereas intersectional feminism is about making space for everyone at the top and eradicating barriers for all. Intersectional feminism is inherently anti-racist and anti-capitalist. There can be no pyramid.

We all know white men are at the top of the list for BAD.
Next up? White women
This book is full of research following suffragist moves and how they've excluded people who don't fit from early America and right to the present day. She details how many more injustices have been perpetrated against lesbians, trans, nonbinary, women of color etc, far more than against white women, who primarily fought for rights of upper class women to have access to the same thing as men. She also spends a lot of time pointing out the shortcomings of capitalism without suggesting a better way.
There are a couple places where Beck mentions what a reader can do to address this, but only in a "here's what I did for my assistant who was much too smart to be just an assistant, but this won't work for everyone" way, as well as denigrating a white woman who wanted to be part of the pussy marches for her own feminist reasoning while not understanding feminism for all women/nonbinary.
This book would have been well served by an appendix listing ways to advocate to improve instead of basically telling white women to stay out of the way because they don't understand, and one single person cannot change things.

Beck reveals in her book that she is a light skinned person of color who has passed for white. She charges white feminists with being self-centered in their approach to feminism. They also don't challenge societal institutions, but treat them as a given. Their priority is achieving success in the political and economic context that men have established. They benefit from the pervasive racism and classism, and don't question them. It doesn't even occur to them that women of color have other needs and priorities.
It is often said that exceptions prove the rule. So even though there may be a contemporary white feminist who is eager to be a genuine ally with lower class women and women of color, the majority of white feminists probably are as Beck depicts them. White Feminism is a tongue lashing that its targets richly deserve.

Koa Beck leaves no stone unturned in this book where she dissects the myriad ways that white feminism harms marginalized groups. She addresses issues like the epidemic of missing and murdered Native and Indigenous women and girls, the toxicity of brands using performative activism, the white female CEOs who perpetuate abusive work environments, and so much more.
I'm someone who used to believe that the only issues that "counted" as feminist issues were those that were solely gendered (equal pay, access to birth control, etc.), and this author goes above and beyond to demonstrate why intersectional feminism is so crucial in helping the collective as opposed to the individual. I recognized several instances where I have been making excuses for rhetoric that is self-serving, and this book gives many concrete examples of ways to be a more inclusive and compassionate feminist.

4.5 stars! This book has taught me so much about the history of white feminism starting with the suffragettes and domestic workers up until Covid-related politics and the trend of disclaiming oneself as „privileged“. It is OVERFLOWING with facts, quotes and stats which sometimes caused my unintellectual ass to lose the thread. I loved that it includes topics like queerness, classism, ableism, gender diversity and capitalism (+ many more) - all related to feminism. Howeverrr, the last half star is missing for me because it‘s very much centered around the US and, in my opinion, focuses on media for millennials only lol.

December 21, 2025Finding this book asap bc as a white woman I need to be an ally AND women of color have always been the backbone of social change so the least I can do is acknowledge and appreciate that. I love intersectional feminism 💕

Journalist Koa Beck has really done something special with White Feminism; what an incredibly thorough and powerful book. There's no doubt this was probably a challenging and daunting project given how expansive the topic is and how many different threads Beck weaves together (both historically as well as theoretically and practically), but it's an absolutely thought-provoking read and one that I hope more people will prioritize this year.
The takeaways in here are endless, and I have a number of sticky notes for passages I want to go back to, not to mention the numerous books, articles, and sources Beck cites that I'm checking out.
I also recommend reading this book in tandem with Mikki Kendall's Hood Feminism. They really complement one another in terms of subject matter.

June 3, 2021I felt like I was drunk while I was reading this--it needed some editing. Chapters, paragraphs, copyediting details (probably not the author's fault) all needed more attention. A sentence here and there struck me as great, and then there was an abrupt lurch into some personal anecdote that had no apparent connection to the surrounding information about suffrage-era activists.
The topic is important, the author's perspective seems unique, and I'm okay with a book raising tough issues and leaving the readers to chew on them for a while. I don't need a to-do list. But I do need a book with shape. Either build up the claims, chapter by chapter, or publish a collection of distinct essays. Connect history to your personal experience, sure, but have some analysis. I know I sound old and cranky, but this just made me impatient.

This book is a bit of a mess structurally - the second and third sections where Beck digs into contemporary white feminist politics as it is depicted in popular media and culture, drawing on her own experiences in "feminist" media are definitely the strongest. The first section aims to provide a history of white feminism with examples from American history that are linked to analogous contemporary examples - this sections toggling is not always successful and at least one chapter was so confusingly placed that I thought the book had been misprinted. The last two sections make the book worth reading; the history in the first is compelling but jarring at times in its presentation.

Sono un po' divisa su come valutare l'opera.
Se infatti, da una parte, la tesi, le argomentazioni e le informazioni che l'autrice ci presenta sono estremamente interessanti e illuminanti, per quanto scoraggianti e difficili da digerire, al contempo la struttura dell'opera non mi ha convinto. Essa tende, infatti, a essere meno coesa di quanto avrei desiderato e in aggiunta a ciò, il finale non mi è sembrato adatto.

I thought this book was brilliant and think it should be recommended reading for everyone.
Koa Beck was former editor in chief at Jezebel, Vogue, and Marie Claire. Although she presents as white and straight, she is neither. In the past, she has written really powerful pieces talking about her experience of "passing" in normative social spaces. Her debut book, White Feminism, is a fascinating history and critique of the feminist movement. As the title suggests, it explores in detail which groups have been elevated within this social movement, and who has been left behind.
I can't say enough about this book. In reading it, I pictured so many of my female friends reading it and seeing themselves in it.
My biggest takeaway from the early part of the book is how fundamentally flawed we view the idea of domestic work. Work at the home, the raising of children, will always need to be done. However, we as a society have never properly valued it or properly incorporated it into the economy of our society. Quoting: "If what you're doing isn't positioned as work, then you don't think you have workers' rights. You don't assemble for those rights, You don't organize around those rights. You don't disrupt for the sake of those rights." Women's work or domestic work is viewed not as work but as an unending natural resource that bears no cost. Beck makes the argument that the modern feminist movement has grown from this prejudice and modern day feminist icons like Sheryl Sandberg seek to grow within this social structure, rather than upend it.
The result is that "White Feminism" has become a movement more focused on individual women, at the cost of women, as a collective whole. Modern day feminism has emphasized female empowerment. Quoting: "With many high-earning, public women espousing operating as individuals, 'feminism' was reduced to a self-empowerment strategy. A way to get things. A way to get more of the things you thought you deserved. A way to consume. But it also performed something far more sinister: 'feminism' became automatically imbued with agency and autonomy, starting popular feminist discourse with a lack of class literacy. Centering popular feminism there meant that the women and other marginalized genders who didn't have the necessary means to secure independence and power were not a part of this conversation about becoming an optimized self."
In the same way that race activists insist that change can only come by overcoming systemic white supremacy, Beck makes the argument that true gender parity can only be achieved once we begin to value domestic work and the work of ALL women. The idea of the female CEO and #girlboss are unrealistic goals that are unavailable to the majority of women, and yet, it is these voices that have monopolized the white feminist movement.
If there is one quibble I have with the book, it is the title. I find that the title of "White Feminism" is a bit of a red herring. In reading the book, you understand why she has labeled the modern feminist movement as such, however, to the uninformed reader, it sets an expectation as to the content. This book is far more nuanced than that title suggests. There's so much more to this book that is incredibly prescient and powerful. In particular, Beck explores the very real conflict most middle-class women experience when trying to decide whether or not to have children.
Anyway, I loved this book and highly recommend it.

This was SO good! It is HUGE in the scope of issues covered, but very comprehensive and insightful. Koa Beck covers the history of feminism in the US, linking it clearly to problems encountered today with white feminism. Issues within the workplace and consumerist feminism are covered extensively. Although the subject matter can be heavy at times, the writing style is relatively easy and her arguments are clearly laid out. Made me question how I think about and feminism and activism in general, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

A very thought-provoking read. I must confess that I am perhaps too thick to understand some of the ideas, but I am really tired so that might be it.

More than anything, this is the book I wish I’d had as a baby feminist in my early teens, but it’s a great read now as well.

I won a copy of this book via Goodreads Giveaways and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is a clear, easy to read, well researched look at how white feminism leaves entire swaths of women behind, and simultaneously upholds white supremacy and patriarchy to maintain white women’s power. It’s a must read for any white woman who has only recently found herself involved in social justice and resistance work. It breaks down the struggles of basically every other group of women in a really easy to follow way, and shows just how badly current white feminism gets it wrong. It can be uncomfortable—but frankly, it should be. The last part of the book gives concrete ways to start improving the situation from wherever you sit.

This was an excellent, if a little chaotic, read that coherently explained the ways in which white supremacy, capitalism and individualism have co-opted the current wave of feminism. The byline states from the Suffragettes to Influences and Who They Leave Behind but it could also be the new #Gaslight #Gatekeep #Girlboss meme.
Importantly, this book also examines the ways in which white supremacy and capitalism have always had a presence within feminism. It takes a look at the historical suffragette movement that was more concerned with white wealthy women gaining the vote than any other woman and how that sentiment has morphed and persisted through time.
It analyses how white women (predominantly) use feminist language to dodge criticism or downplay their own racism, homophobia and classism. It has been super interesting to be reading this while watching white wellness warrior women on social media use the same weaponised language to enforce their anti-vax rhetoric and the pretzels they twist themselves into justify their nonsensical beliefs while errorenously calling anyone who challenges them bullies or misogynists.
Excellent book.

Quite some interesting thoughts but a bit 'all over the place'.
March 5, 2025
This book was tiresome. When I read Lean In many years ago, I fully expected to hate it because I assumed it was going to be peak choice feminism, something I vehemently detest (as a feminist). I ended up pleasantly surprised because the book was decidedly not that, and instead provided actual useful advice for women in corporate roles and Sandberg repeatedly acknowledged the many privileges she experienced in her rise to success. Since then, I have read book after book after book bemoaning Lean In as some white feminism book that doesn't address the needs of all women. Which like, the book doesn't pretend it will do everything for all women or that it's applicable to all women, and what kind of standard is that to even start with for a book? If you picked up Lean In and assumed it would address the needs of poor racialized immigrant women in Tibet, then I think that's kind of on you...Of course, that means we also need books, activism, etc that isn't serving the same demographics Lean In supports, but the fact that Lean in exists and caters to a particular demographic isn't bad or wrong. Anyways, this book pours ink over this and it's such a tired critique of a book that never claimed to do the things the book is said to not do.
The author makes snide/sarcastic comments about something not addressing the needs of white women ("a cardinal sin"), but like, white women still have a need for feminism on the basis of them being women. If you don't want to include white women in your feminism, then ok, I guess, but that seems short-sighted to me, and a repeat of errors in the past. Again, that's not to say that should be the focus, but if you want feminism to be for all women, then include all women.
The author also occasionally gets really annoyed at white women using the labor of racialized women (e.g., housekeepers, nannies, etc), but it's weird to talk about white women in this context and not rich women. I assure you a rich black woman is far more likely to directly benefit from the labor of other racialized women than a poor white woman, but IDK if the author is ready for that conversation.
