A mixture of memoir and the history of black women, Morgan Jerkins is unflinchingly honest. Her essays are both educational and philosophically soul-bearing.

Obviously as a white woman I can’t fully understand Jerkins’ interactions and perspective, but I respect the hell out of the vulnerability she lays out and conquers in her memoir sections. She has so many great points about intersectional feminism, black women in film and tv, and the cultural ramifications of it all.
