The voices in this collection of essays and interviews offer perspectives and experiences that help women find common ground\, unity\, and allyship. \nThrough personal essays and interviews about what it is like to live as a woman (cis + trans) in this modern world—with all of our love\, anger\, complexities\, and desires for justice—All of Me: Stories of Love\, Anger\, and the Female Body includes vulnerable\, painful truths and bold inspiration. \nThis anthology is for seasoned feminists and young feminists alike—anyone looking to find inspiration in radical activism\, creativity\, healing\, and more. This book covers topics of social and economic justice\, creativity\, racism\, transgender perspectives\, sexuality\, sex work\, addiction and recovery\, reproductive rights\, assault\, relationship dynamics\, families\, fitting and not fitting in\, radical self-care\, witchcraft\, and more. \nIf love and anger are two sides of the same coin\, for women there are worlds to be explored with every flip of that coin. Readers will find a glimpse into those worlds in the pages of All of Me. \nContributors include Silvia Federici\, Michelle Cruz Gonzales\, Ariel Gore\, Laurie Penny\, Lidia Yuknavitch\, Christine No\, Kandis Williams\, Vatan Doost\, Deya\, Phoenix LeFae\, Anna Silastre\, Michel Wing\, Bethany Ridenour\, Lorelle Saxena\, Airial Clark\, Patty Stonefish\, Nayomi Munaweera\, Melissa Madera\, Margaret Elysia Garcia\, Leilani Clark\, Ariel Erskine\, Wendy-O Matik\, Kara Vernor\, Starhawk\, adrienne maree brown\, Gerri Ravyn Stanfield\, Sanam Mahloudji\, Melissa Chadburn\, Avery Erickson\, and Milla Prince. \nAbout the Editor: \nDani Burlison (she/her) is the author of Dendrophilia and Other Social Taboos: True Stories\, a collection of essays that first appeared in her McSweeney’s Internet Tendency column of the same name\, and the Lady Parts zines.
