astridrv's review
informative
fast-paced
This short and strong book aims at debunking the idea that "feminism hasn't killed anyone" and questions why we expect women to not resort to violence in their activism. A short overview of both fiction and real life events shows a panel of women who have maimed, killed, and engaged in direct action to either advance a political fight or to defend their life. Every chapter would have deserved a much deeper delve, so I think this book pairs nicely with (or might even be irrelevant in the face of) Se défendre, by Elsa Dorlin.
