Women, Race & Class by Angela Y. Davis

5.0
An essential chronicle of the revolutionary abolitionist, feminist and socialist movements in the American 19th and 20th century which were incredibly influential to social structures in the 80s and today.The writing was dense but only because Davis is such a stellar scholar and historical commentator.
It's despairing to read how even the most forward thinking minds at the time could and would repeatedly fall into the trap of disconnecting social movements to empower themselves at the expense of others. But its an important lesson to be reminded of: No one is free until everybody's free.

such interesting insight into the mind of a travelling european poet. so different but such universal feelings and thoughts. letter writing is such a beautiful human act. it's kinda poetic how we don't get to read any of Herr Kappus' letters to Rilke, he seemed so inspired and connected to him.

very engaging and well written discussion of depression in teen years, but damn there really is a limit to the amount of male narration i can take and this book definitely pushed it
