This Will Be My Undoing: Living at the Intersection of Black, Female, and Feminist in (White) America by Morgan Jerkins
4.0
Fantastic series of essays chronicling how Jerkins viewed herself, and how she observed the world observing her, through different stages of her life. From grade school, to college at Princeton, to traveling to Japan and Russia, and to the publishing world of NYC, Jerkins shares anecdote after anecdote of her Otherness.
I loaded up the Quotes section of this book, but here's one I really want to highlight:
"We cannot come together if we do not recognize our differences first. These differences are best articulated when women of color occupy the center of the discourse while white women remain silent, actively listen, and do not try to reinforce supremacy by inserting themselves in the middle of the discussion."
