Feminism, Interrupted: Disrupting Power

'I was blown away' - Angela Davis

Recommended by Black Queer Book Club (@black.queerbookclub)
"This book contextualised for us some of the most pressing issues within contemporary European organising. We felt it read like somewhat of a manifesto for returning to the radical roots of feminism and severing the modern linking of women’s rights with neoliberal policies. We think that anyone who reads this book will complete the book with an awareness of what must be done to upend patriarchy. Any radical book club should consider this text as an essential read."

From the back cover:
Plastered over t-shirts and tote bags, the word 'feminist' has entered the mainstream and is fast becoming a popular slogan for our generation. But feminism isn't a commodity up for purchase; it's a weapon for fighting against injustice. This revolutionary book reclaims feminism from consumerism through exploring state violence against women, reproductive justice, transmisogyny, sex work, gendered Islamophobia and much more, showing that the struggle for gendered liberation is a struggle for justice, one that can transform the world for everybody.
