Following in the tradition of Sara Ahmed (the originator of the concept \"feminist killjoy\"), Wunker brings memoir, theory, literary criticism, pop culture, and feminist thinking together in this collection of essays that take up Ahmed's project as a multi-faceted lens through which to read the world from a feminist point of view.\u003cp\u003eNeither totemic nor complete, the nonfiction essays that make up NOTES FROM A FEMINIST KILLJOY: ESSAYS ON EVERYDAY LIFE attempt to think publicly about why we need feminism, and especially why we need the figure of the feminist killjoy, now. From the complicated practices of being a mother and a feminist, to building friendship amongst women as a community-building and -sustaining project, to writing that addresses rape culture from the Canadian context and beyond, NOTES FROM A FEMINIST KILLJOY: ESSAYS ON EVERYDAY LIFE invites the reader into a conversation about gender, feminism, and living in our inequitable world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of the Atlantic Book Awards 2017 Margaret and John Savage First Book Award\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of the East Coast Literary Awards 2017 Evelyn Richardson Non-Fiction Award\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinalist for the 2017 Atlantic Book Award for Scholarly Writing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest Book of 2017: Gold Winner, The Coast Halifax\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BookThug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032500584688,"sku":"9781771662567","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781771662567_p0.jpg?v=1763709167","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781771662567","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
