Roxane Gay: The Portable Feminist Reader

In her new innovative anthology The Portable Feminist Reader, acclaimed author and culture critic Roxane Gay explores what feminism looks like in practice. The writings selected by Gay reveal her interpretation of the feminist canon as expansive rather than definitive, and invites robust discussion and debate. Her selections include both classic and modern authors, including writings by Susan B. Anthony, Kimberlé Crenshaw, the Guerilla Girls, and many more.
