Publisher's Summary

"As timely as it is well-written, this clear-eyed collection is just what I need right now." (Jacqueline Woodson, author of Brown Girl Dreaming)

"The intersectional feminist anthology we all need to read" (Bustle), edited by a feminist activist and writer who "calls to mind a young Audre Lorde" (Kirkus).

Why do some women struggle to identify as feminists, despite their commitment to gender equality? How do other aspects of our identities - such as race, religion, sexuality, gender identity, and more - impact how we relate to feminism? Why is intersectionality so important?

In challenging, incisive, and fearless essays - all of which appear here for the first time - 17 writers from diverse backgrounds wrestle with these questions, and more. A groundbreaking audiobook that elevates underrepresented voices, Can We All Be Feminists? offers the tools and perspective we need to create a 21st century feminism that is truly for all.

Including essays by: Soofiya Andry, Gabrielle Bellot, Caitlin Cruz, Nicole Dennis-Benn, Brit Bennett, Evette Dionne, Aisha Gani, Afua Hirsch, Juliet Jacques, Wei Ming Kam, Mariya Karimjee, Eishar Kaur, Emer O’Toole, Frances Ryan, Zoé Samudzi, Charlotte Shane, and Selina Thompson.

What the critics say

One of The Guardian's “Five Books on How to Achieve Gender Equality” and “The 50 Biggest Books of Autumn 2018”

“Can We All Be Feminists? reminds us just how often feminists have failed to listen...[and] how feminism has not been listened to.” (The New York Times Book Review)

“Thoughtful and incisive analyses written in masterfully beautiful prose... Can We All Be Feminists? is a superb collection, and a stirring call for an intersectional feminism at a time when it is more urgently needed than ever before.” (PopMatters)

“In an eloquent and searing introduction, debut editor Eric-Udorie...calls to mind a young Audre Lorde, and her anthology feels like a 21st-century version of This Bridge Called My Back.” (Kirkus)

Informative and Attitude Changing

This collection of essays mostly read by their writers offers a look into the challenges and struggles of women who are doubly marginalized and calls on women who are privileged to include them in the feminist movement as allies and to provide room and support for them to speak their truths and determine their paths. I learned a lot from this book without feeling threatened or blamed and I will take my learnings with me into future work and encounters.
