Gloria Watson (born 1952) is a Black feminist who is famous for protesting against the White majority in feminist movements. She is better known as bell hooks.

She uses the name bell hooks to honor her mother and her grandmother. In 1973, she graduated Stanford University, in 1976, she followed that with a degree from University of Winsconsin, and with a Ph. D. from the University of California in 1983.

Hooks believes, among other things, that many issues are interconnected with feminism, for example racial prejudice, and education.
