Rest in power bell hooks.

Thank you for your countless contributions to feminist theory and activism, and to your commitment to inclusitivity and accessibility.  Your impact cannot be overstated.

From bell:

Women need to know that they can reject the powerful's definition of their reality ___that they can do so even if they are poor, exploited, or trapped in oppressive circumstances.  They need to know that the exercise of this basic personal power is an act of resistance and strength.
