  <about><![CDATA[Bell Hooks (or 'bell hooks'; born Gloria Jean Watkins), is an African-American author, feminist, and social activist. Her writing has focused on the interconnectivity of race, class, and gender and their ability to produce and perpetuate systems of oppression and domination. She has published over thirty books and numerous scholarly and mainstream articles, appeared in several documentary films and participated in various public lectures. Primarily through a postmodern female perspective, she has addressed race, class, and gender in education, art, history, sexuality, mass media and feminism.]]></about>    <gender>female</gender>    <born_at>09/25/1952</born_at>
