THE BOLD VOICES AND INSPIRING VISIONS OF TODAY’S REVOLUTIONARY ABOLITIONIST MOVEMENT

A radical feminist history and street art resource for inspired readers! This book combines short biographies with striking and usable stencil images of thirty women—activists, anarchists, feminists, freedom-fighters and visionaries. It offers a subversive portrait history which refuses to belittle the military prowess and revolutionary drive of women, whose violent resolves often shatter the archetype of woman-as-nurturer.

Twenty-seven pages of feminist fun! This is a coloring book you will never outgrow.
