Seventeen writers from diverse backgrounds elaborate on their relationship with feminism. They do this in the context of their marginalised identities, e.g. a hijab-wearing Muslim, a disability rights activist and a transgender journalist. The book include matters such as how to make feminism more inclusive and the importance of intersectionality.
This book engages scholarly essays, poems, and creative writings that examine the meanings of race, gender, and sexual orientation as interlocking systems of oppression. Each chapter in this volume critically interrogates the notion of identity as socially constructed, yet interconnected and shaped by cultural associations. The shaping of an individual’s identity, communication, and worldview can be read, shaped, and understood through life, art, popular culture, mass media, and cross-cultural interactions, among other things.
