Want to Read $ 13.49"In a time of alleged heightened "feminism" women of color and poor women are being left behind, and yet the trappings that uniquely target us, like poverty, incarceration, police brutality, and immigration, aren't often quantified as "feminist issues". The reason there is so much dissidence between what a female CEO says you can do and the lived reality of what you can feasibly do is that this type feminism wasn't made for us. We need a movement that addresses the reality of women's lives rather than the aspiration of what they hope to be."-Koa Beck, White Feminism: From the Suffragettes to Influencers and Who They Leave Behind

"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 or power—in broader culture, in their families, in their communities, in their workplaces—were not a part of this conversation about becoming an optimized agent of self."-Koa Beck, White Feminism: From the Suffragettes to Influencers and Who They Leave Behind
