FEMINIST AF

Three members of the Crunk Feminist Collective, a group of feminists of color, join forces to deliver a bold and thorough guidebook.

This title delivers wisdom and insight garnered from lived experiences and decades of research and practice in language that is mature but still accessible to young people. Divided into four major sections, the book touches on significant topics, including race, sexuality, disability, body image, friendship and family dynamics, and more. Intersectional feminism is a throughline, with inclusive stories and comprehensive counsel that provide knowledge, solidarity, comfort, and hope for its audience. Along with analyses of politics that address existence and survival across marginalized identities, the work discusses systems and structures that affect individual and societal outcomes. The authors offer specific, relevant anecdotes from their own lives as well as the media and popular culture that reflect the complex issues that girls and nonbinary youth face, accompanied by thoughtful, compassionate, honest, and realistic advice. Text boxes provide valuable background and context as well as recommendations of movies, TV shows, and books to check out. All these elements come together to create a work that reads like far more than just a handbook for a young feminist’s journey but rather presents as a guide to life as a whole.

A necessary life companion for readers of all backgrounds.
