The title contains selected writings by ancient, historic, and more recent feminist voices, including Henricus Cornelius Agrippa, Anna Julia Cooper, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Dorothy Allison, Leslie Feinberg, Eileen Myles, Mona Eltahawy, bell hooks, Sara Ahmed, Cherríe Moraga, Audre Lorde, The Guerrilla Girls, and many more. Each ticket comes with a signed copy of The Portable Feminist Reader. We are proud to partner with Women & Children First.
