Summary Note |
"Why is it difficult for so many women to fully identify with the word 'feminist'? How do our personal histories and identities affect our relationship to feminism? Why is intersectionality so important? How can we make feminism more inclusive? In 'Can we all be feminists?', seventeen writers from diverse backgrounds wrestle with these questions, exploring what feminism means to them in the context of their other identities - from a hijab-wearing Muslim to a disability rights activist to a body-positive performance artist to a transgender journalist. Edited by the brilliant twent-year-old feminist activist and writer June Eric-Udorie, this impassioned, thought-provoking collection offers a vision for a new, comprehensive feminism that is truly for all. Including essays by: Soofiya Andry, Gabrielle Bellot, Caitlin Cruz, Nicole Dennis-Benn, Brit Bennett, Evette Dionne, Aisha Gani, Afua Hirsch, Juliet Jacques, Wei Ming Kam, Mariya Karimjee, Eishar Kaur, Emer O'Toole, Frances Ryan, Zoe Samudzi, Charlotte Shane, and Selina Thompson." - Back cover. |
