Want to contribute?
This website is essentially a compilation of all the knowledge and resources about feminism that I have accumulated over the years, for the purposes of providing other women and girls this knowledge to empower themselves as well. If you know a book, study, manifesto, article, etc. that you think would greatly benefit being on this website, just email me with a PDF of your material and I'll be sure to add it in. Feminism is a group effort - let's make this archive a group effort as well.
Why?
When people hear the word "radical" or "radicalized", they think of violence, extremism, indoctrination, and hatred. That's not what radical feminism is - the 'radical' in radical feminism means 'root', as in identifying the root of female oppression (patriarchy) and abolishing it.
I became a radicalized feminist not through rhetoric, not through hate, but knowledge. Knowledge that gave me realizations, truths, and a clearer outlook on society. It's this knowledge that has liberated me from many male-imposed shackles of my life, knowledge that has instilled in me a sense of solidarity with all my sisters, knowledge that has quite literally saved my life at one point; I hope it can do the same for you too.
I know it can be overwhelming to research such a big topic like feminism, which is why I wanted to create this "one stop shop" where you have a curated, organized archive at your fingertips that you can browse at your own pace. Of course, this website is not and will never be exhaustive, but it's a good starting place if you're wanting to learn more and, I hope, a helpful resource for our older and more experienced feminists too.
Bear in mind that almost all the materials here are in vein with radical feminism (ie The Second Wave feminist movement), which is very different from the feminism that's popular today. You might resonate deeply with one book then vehemently disagree with the other; that's okay. Above all, what's important is that you think critically, ask questions, and reach your own informed conclusions.
