But by naming ourselves feminist killjoys, we recover a feminist history, turning it into a source of strength as well as an inspiration.

The Feminist Killjoy Handbook unpicks the lies our culture tells us and provides a form of solidarity and companionship that can be returned to over a lifetime.
