Can We All Be Feminists? by June Eric-Udorie
'The intersectional feminist anthology we all need to read' (Bustle), edited by a remarkable and inspiring twenty-year-old activist who the BBC named one of 100 'inspirational and influential women' of 2016.
Edited by the amazing activist June Eric-Udorie, this is a call to arms for all feminists to take a good hard look at ourselves and think are we doing enough? Are we creating a feminism that embraces women marginalized by racism, ableism, homophobia, trans rights and beyond? With 17 writers including Emer O'Toole, Soofiya Andry and Afua Hirsch, this is not just a key read but a mandatory one * Stylist September Top Ten Books *
