bell hooks was a transformative figure in feminism, challenging the movement to acknowledge the experiences of Black and working-class women often overlooked by mainstream discourse.
In Ain't I a Woman? hooks argued that feminism was ignoring the plight of the most vulnerable women, laying the groundwork for a more inclusive feminist theory.
Feminism must include voices from all backgrounds, and bell hooks emphasized this necessity by addressing the triple oppression faced by marginalized women in society.
Hooks' work highlighted the systemic racism and classism that disproportionately affected women of color, urging a re-evaluation of feminist ideologies to truly represent the spectrum of women’s experiences.
