Reception
editPublishers Weekly described the essays as "extremely relevant, educational, and a genuine pleasure to wrestle with", [3] while Literary Hub listed the collection as a "required book" for Women's History Month,[4] and Ebony included it among "powerful must-reads".[5] Kirkus Reviews considered it "(a) valuable record of (...) a growing cultural awareness of feminist issues and criticism, particularly for women of color", but faulted the contributors for "favor(ing) anecdotal evidence rather than a more substantive argument.[2]
