In this landmark work, four of the world's leading
scholar-activists issue an urgent call for a truly intersectional,
internationalist, abolitionist feminism. As a politics and as a
practice, abolitionism has increasingly shaped our political
moment, amplified through the worldwide protests following the 2020
murder of George Floyd by a uniformed police officer. It is at the
heart of the Black Lives Matter movement, in its demands for police
defunding and demilitarisation, and a halt to prison construction.
And it is there in the outrage which greeted the brutal treatment
of women by police at the 2021 Clapham Common vigil for Sarah
Everard. As this book shows, abolitionism and feminism stand
shoulder-to-shoulder in fighting a common cause: the end of the
carceral state, with its key role in perpetuating violence, both
public and private, in prisons, in police forces, and in people's
homes. Abolitionist theories and practices are at their most
compelling when they are feminist; and a feminism that is also
abolitionist is the most inclusive and persuasive version of
feminism for these times. Abolition. Feminism. Now! 'This
extraordinary book makes the most compelling case I've ever seen
for the indivisibility of feminism and abolition' Robin D. G.
Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
'Attentive to histories of organising that are too quickly erased,
and alive to new possibilities for working collectively in the
present time, this book is as capacious and demanding as the
abolitionist feminism it calls for' Sara Ahmed, author of Willful
