Description

Please note that this PDF does not contain all the art/design elements that will be in the final book/ebook.

Hip-hop and feminism combine in this empowering guide with attitude, from best-selling author Brittney Cooper and founding members of the Crunk Feminist Collective.

Loud and rowdy girls, quiet and nerdy girls, girls who rock naturals, girls who wear weave, outspoken and opinionated girls, girls still finding their voice, queer girls, trans girls, and gender nonbinary young people who want to make the world better: Feminist AF uses the insights of feminism to address issues relevant to today’s young womxn.

What do you do when you feel like your natural hair is ugly, or when classmates keep touching it? How do you handle your self-confidence if your family or culture prizes fair-skinned womxn over darker-skinned ones? How do you balance your identities if you’re an immigrant or the child of immigrants? How do you dress and present yourself in ways that feel good when society condemns anything outside of the norm? Covering colorism and politics, romance and pleasure, code switching, and sexual violence, Feminist AF is the empowering guide to living your feminism out loud.

Advance Praise

"This title delivers wisdom and insight garnered from lived experiences and decades of research and practice in language that is mature but still accessible to young people.... The authors offer specific, relevant anecdotes from their own lives as well as the media and popular culture that reflect the complex issues that girls and nonbinary youth face, accompanied by thoughtful, compassionate, honest, and realistic advice.... All these elements come together to create a work that reads like far more than just a handbook for a young feminist’s journey but rather presents as a guide to life as a whole.  A necessary life companion for readers of all backgrounds." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review
