Description
The Feminist Killjoy Handbook is a powerful exploration of the ways in which feminism can be misunderstood and dismissed. Sara Ahmed argues that by embracing the label of 'feminist killjoy', we can reclaim a feminist history and find strength in our solidarity with one another.
Drawing on her own experiences and those of other feminist thinkers, Ahmed unpicks the lies that underpin our culture and offers a form of companionship that can be returned to over a lifetime.
This handbook is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to challenge the status quo and find their place within a feminist movement that values honesty, intimacy and depth of thought.
