Black Feminist Thought: Knowledge, Consciousness, and the Politics of Empowerment (Routledge Classics) (Volume 138) by Patricia Hill Collins

What I loved the most about this book is that it is an academic text, but PCH doesn't waste time with jargon. If she uses it, she defines it almost immediately. There is also a glossary in the back of the book. A book that I will use a lot. So happy I was pushed to revisit this text.
