This book explores the flesh and breath of African feminist politics as embodied in activism over the past thirty years against sexism, militarism, homophobia and transphobia, global economic inequality, and religious fundamentalism, and towards freedoms that can be felt by African women and gender non-conforming people in the everyday.
