Communion: The Female Search for Love
Communion: The Female Search for Love | bell hooks
Renowned visionary and theorist bell hooks began her exploration of the meaning of love in American culture with the critically acclaimed All About Love: New Visions. She continued her national dialogue with the bestselling Salvation: Black People and Love. Now hooks culminates her triumphant trilogy of love with Communion: The Female Search for Love.Intimate, revealing, provocative, Communion challenges every female to courageously claim the search for love as the heroic journey we must all choose to be truly free. In her trademark commanding and lucid language, hooks explores the ways ideas about women and love were changed by feminist movement, by women's full participation in the workforce, and by the culture of self-help. Communion is the heart-to-heart talk every woman -- mother, daughter, friend, and lover -- needs to have.

Such a phenomenal book and my fave bell hooks book I have read so far! She did an excellent job of exploring intersectionality and depth of love in female-identified individuals! My fave section was the one focused on the lasting and impactful love of a true friendship. It was a quick read yet so profound! It emphasizes the importance of different types of love, what these loves are, and what influences them, for all people!

"...it should come as no surprise that we learn to worry most as girls, as women, about whether we are worthy of love." -bell hooks

My first paragraph of my first bell hooks book, and I am all here for it.

This book is breathtaking. It's the feminist examination of love I've been looking for, and has really helped me define what I want from a relationship and what I want from my own personal growth. I will definitely be passing this on to my mom and I wish I could give it to every woman I know.
