Feminism, Interrupted by Lola Olufemi is a beacon of hope when it comes to young feminist activism. The author sets out a manifesto for a holistic approach to feminism through accounts of those traditionally excluded from the mainstream movement. Feminism, Interrupted directs readers towards further reading in a way which got me excited to reconcile my identity with a strain of the feminist movement.
This is evidently a well-research book, especially in light of its brevity, and the text is rife with quotes from other prominent activists and organisations. Olufemi sets out in the introduction that one of her aims is to get people excited about doing their own further research, and it my opinion she does a great job. It can be particularly difficult to find UK-centric radical feminist theory, and for this in particular I was excited by this.
There were definitely times at which I disagreed with the ideas, or felt as though there was a significant gap in representation, but this is bound to be the case within any feminist lit. Olufemi does an outstanding job in such a brief introduction, and I particularly believe that this is a must-read for anyone new to radical-feminist theory.
