Reviews

“This book offers a powerful plea for a feminism that is willing to kill any joy that derives from inequality and injustice. All feminist killjoys will want this book on their shelves!”
–Sara Ahmed, former director of the Centre for Feminist Research and professor of Race and
Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths (London), and author of Living a Feminist Life

“Wunker renders the label “feminist killjoy” one that readers can be proud to wear.”
–Becky Robertson, Quill and Quire (starred review)

“Notes from a Feminist Killjoy is an answer to what is needed now—a self-consciously contingent rejoinder to the question of “who needs feminism?”
–Christina Turner, rabble.ca
