Readings on radical feminism by WOC?

Resources Submitted June 14, 2020, 11:18 p.m. by IgnitedStardust

I saw a post about YouTube channel by radfems of colour, and I’ve got a few Individuals bookmarked to follow up on.

But any prominent academic radical feminist WOCs that you know of or would recommend? Any radical feminist literature by WOC to recommend to me? It doesn’t matter the specific race or nationality/continental origin of the author in question - I am new to radical feminist literature in general, and want to know more. I know of the Greer/Dworkin/Atkinson/Friedan/Dines group, but I’d be interested in similar WOC authors.

Is bell hooks considered a radfem? I've never read anything about feminism since my mom, aunts and college friends are black feminists (not radfem per se but not libfems either).

The general consensus seems to be that Bell Hooks has some important points about the very white origins of feminism, but is not what one would consider radical feminist. I think with Bell Hooks, the best place would be to take from her works what is beneficial and looks past what isn’t.

  • Another vote for This Bridge Called My Back (ed. Cherríe Moraga and Gloria Anzaldúa)
  • Women, Race, and Class (Angela Davis)
  • Sister Outsider (Audre Lorde)
  • Combahee River Collective Statement
