The vigorous debates in and around feminism and feminist praxis since the later 2000s have produced some of the most challenging political engagements with contemporary social and cultural life; in this they are paralleled by the more recent growing trends in anti-racist activism and action and by the growth of decolonial praxis in the same period.The struggle for freedom is too difficult to depart on alone, and we share the struggle with women all over the world”. Simply one of the best books I've read on contemporary feminism and it's capacity to make change in the world at all levels. Feminism Interrupted seeks to highlight to the reader that feminism is not about our individual selves as women and what we think should be done about certain issues. But women of colour suffer twice, as the state can also be racist, as evidenced by the black women discussed here who essentially died at its hand: shot by accident, neglected in poor mental or physical health until they took their own lives or died of illness.

What use is a chamber full of "female" politicians who declare themselves feminists if they step over dead women's bodies to do so? Lola Olufemi’s Feminism Interrupted seems also to be a book about the excision of non-white battles from feminism. It is often about putting our personal views aside to consider those most vulnerable in our society and how first and foremost they need to be protected and supported.They are everyday people, navigating treacherous territory and often taking risks with no safety net.

a lot of attention is often placed on changing policy to legalise abortion, but that doesn't always lead to 'reproductive justice' for all women. Mimo że to teoretyczne podejście do radykalnego feminizmu, Olufemi pisze zwięźle i skutecznie udaje jej się przekazać swoje obserwacje, przez co książkę świetnie się czyta. I found the chapters on reproductive justice, sex work, and transmisogyny to be most interesting because they haven’t been covered as much in the other feminist texts I’ve read.What I also really liked about Lola Olufemi's work is it's grounding in the British experiences of women (particularly Black women) and facts relating to Britain. Olufemi centres radical feminist efforts to move global society towards a collective, non-authoritarian position in which national boundaries are dropped, resources are shared, and people come together in solidarity rather than in a dog-eat-dog scramble for dominance. She points out that 57% of women in prison are survivors of domestic abuse, and that universal credit benefits are paid into the account of the highest household earner, usually a man – making women even more vulnerable to abusive partners. Sono appena 170 pagine, ma sembrano di più (e lo dico in senso super positivo) per il numero di argomenti trattati e la chiarezza con cui vengono espressi.
