Introduction
In 2013, American pop star Beyonce featured the writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's famous quote 'We should all be feminists' in her album. This exemplified feminism's place in the mainstream.
Feminism no longer carries a negative connotation, but the 'feminism' of fast fashion brands and public figures is disconnected from the history of feminist organizing and struggle.
Lola Olufemi is a London-based feminist author and researcher whose work focuses on the uses of imagination in revolutionary cultural production.
In this 2020 collection of essays, Olufemi proposes a return to more radical feminist goals that go beyond neoliberal individualism and strive for intersectional transformative justice and collectivism.
