Feminismo de barrio

The current feminist movement has a blind spot and, paradoxically, it is the women themselves. Most feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and health care are also related issues. The refusal by many feminists to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated internal discord. Additionally, prominent white feminists suffer from their own myopia regarding how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall wonders, when there is a distinct possibility that some women are oppressing others? In her scathing collection of essays, Kendall takes aim at the legitimacy of the modern feminist movement by arguing that it has chronically failed to address the needs of all women.
