- Description
- The author contends with this article that Sherley Anne Williams's Dessa Rose (1986) is an appeal for an American bond of sisterhood between feminists and womanists. In the process, it examines the relationship between the novel's two Black and White heroines, Dessa Rose and Ruth Sutton respectively, through the lens of Bonnie Thornton Dill's definition of sisterhood in her seminal work, Race, Class, and Gender: Prospects for an All-Inclusive Sisterhood. While discomfort and distrust encircle their first encounter in the Sutton's Glen, equality, reciprocation, and trust adorn their sisterhood in their last encounter in jail. Such a sisterhood is the aftermath of both women's realization that they are both subjects to White men's patriarchy. Williams's use of both heroines as microcosms for Black and White women addresses the widening gap in the 1980s and today between feminists and womanists for an American sisterhood in black and white.

- Description
- Even before “intersectionality” became a buzzword in feminist circles, hooks has already been talking about the interlocking webs of oppression, a concept that most feminists associate with intersectionality. Despite her novel ideas though, most critics raise concerns about her inconsistencies, lack of methodology, and critical awareness. The author aims to re-evaluate hooks and propose ways to address some of these supposed contradictions. To enrich hooks’ feminist theory, the author proposes three main points: the emphasis on the crossing of borders, feminist solidarity and global transgression.

- Description
- This essay moves beyond branding the Pussyhat Project as either good or bad but instead recognises the myriad and nuanced ways in which the Pussyhat Project has been received whilst at the same time recognising the complex, messy and entangled nature in her successful effort to complicate dominant narratives and concepts of feminist solidarity, protest and craft. Throughout the essay May seeks to cast light upon the unevenness of the feminist struggle for liberation and affective solidarity whilst at the same time recognising the way in which such complex texture can become a means to position people closer in feminist practice and solidarity at a time when queer and transwomen, women of colour and women from the global south have long been silenced
