About bell hooks
bell hooks, born Gloria Jean Watkins in 1952, was an influential American author, feminist, and social activist. She adopted the pen name 'bell hooks' as a tribute to her great-grandmother. As a prominent voice in intersectional feminism, hooks focused on issues of race, class, and gender, advocating for social justice and equality. Through her extensive body of work, including books like 'Ain't I a Woman' and 'Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center,' hooks challenged traditional feminist perspectives and introduced new ideas to the discourse.
