About this listen
In Living a Feminist Life Sara Ahmed shows how feminist theory is generated from everyday life and the ordinary experiences of being a feminist at home and at work.
Building on legacies of feminist of color scholarship in particular, Ahmed offers a poetic and personal meditation on how feminists become estranged from worlds they critique - often by naming and calling attention to problems - and how feminists learn about worlds from their efforts to transform them.
Ahmed also provides her most sustained commentary on the figure of the feminist killjoy introduced in her earlier work while showing how feminists create inventive solutions - such as forming support systems - to survive the shattering experiences of facing the walls of racism and sexism.
The killjoy survival kit and killjoy manifesto, with which the book concludes, supply practical tools for how to live a feminist life, thereby strengthening the ties between the inventive creation of feminist theory and living a life that sustains it.

This book is beautiful. If you are BIPOC within an academic institution, then this book will feel like a life line. Sara, thank you for writing it.

inspiring!
One of the best feminist books I've read in years. Certainly the most useful as an all-round discussion of the complications intimacies of living life as an intersectional feminist. Highly recommended for students.

Thesaurus?
I could not agree more with the fundamental points of this book, but it was an entirely unsatisfactory and unconvincing audiobook.
I felt as though the author wrote a book of 50% length, then needed to double the word count so went through each sentence and consulted a thesaurus to create a second sentence of entirely identical meaning to appear immediately after the first. Essentially an enormous and somewhat interesting thesaurus.
