Feminisms in Motion - Review:
What it is: https://www.akpress.org/feminisms-in-motion.html
These are essays about all the other feminisms. FIM is NOT Bourgeois/White. It's the Intersection of Feminism with issues of poor, LGBTQ, Black, Latin@ and Immigrant populations. Inherently anti-authoritarian, FIM tells stories of - and offers solutions of Feminists dealing with patriarchy and misogyny concurrently with issues of race, gender, nationality, and disability. Offering solutions as well as critiques.
