Book three in bell hooks' series on the big-L Love. This  book spells out the challenges women face in finding and keeping love in a patriarchal society. From identifying "feminist" men who would never actually date a feminist, to challenging the idea that women are inherently nurturing, bell hooks gives us a lot to chew on. This episode gives an overview of the book, touching on multiple topics and concepts. More on queerness and hooks' impact in next week's episode!
