What will Black Women Get from Being Moral in an Immoral World?
I recently re-read All About Love by Bell Hooks which is an insightful book where she offers the readers, radical new ways to think about love. Many aspects of the book were insightful to me (I suggest you read it if you haven’t already!) but there’s one chapter early on in the book that caught my attention where she talks about honesty and somewhat criticises the aspect of patriarchal femininity that sees women’s deception as acceptable and as always, a range of things came into my mind.
