GENDER IDENTITY: Someone you should know: bell hooks
bell hooks is an American author, feminist, and social activist who has devoted her career to writing and speaking about the intersections of race, class, and gender. hooks focuses on how these intersecting identities influence oppression.
She writes fiercely about cultural icons like Beyoncé, asking big questions about how capitalism enslaves and liberates black female bodies.
hooks reminds us that gender, race, and class have to be understood together. Considering gender in isolation of race and class risks erasing the narratives of black women and other marginalized groups.
