"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 – seventeen writers from diverse backgrounds wrestle with these questions, and more. A groundbreaking book 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.

      Collection editor and activist June Eric-Udorie shares the mic with a powerful array of women in this necessary discussion on intersectional feminism. Multiple contributors, most of whom perform their own essays, drive forward a vision of an all-encompassing feminism reflective of marginalized, multifaceted identities. Eric-Udorie briefly introduces each writer's work, before stepping aside for their frank and engaging voice. Nicole Dennis-Benn, Selina Thompson, Frances Ryan, Eishar Kaur, among many others, challenge a mainstream feminism that ignores or sidelines race, ethnicity, immigration, socioeconomic status, sexual and gender identities, cultural and spiritual heritage, and body types and physical abilities. Listeners are encouraged to educate themselves beyond the experience of this production through a selection of recommended readings. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
