This Is What A Feminist Slut Looks Like: Perspectives on the SlutWalk Movement is a compelling and much needed compendium that bravely and honestly addresses the difficulties and challenges of organizing global SlutWalk protests/movements. Diverse voices and perspectives of organizers, participants, and critics from North America to Hong Kong address intersectionality related to people?s location, whether associated with ability, body size, class, ethnicity, family, gender, racialization, parenting, sexuality, or experience with sexual or other forms of violence. The first of its kind, this critical collection ? in the format of traditional scholarly writing, poetry, photographaphy, and an open letter ? provides interwoven theoretical analysis and personal reflections that compel readers to engage with the complexity of feminist and anti-sexual violence theorizing, activism, discussion and movements. A must read for all.?Fiona Joy Green, Professor, Women?s and Gender Studies, University of WinnipegThis manuscript is a wonderful and nuanced analysis of the SlutWalk movement, providing neither singular endorsement nor simplified critique. The editors have effectively selected chapters that bring out the various perspectives and different contexts of the SlutWalk movement globally, thereby bringing to the forefront crucial questions regarding the future of feminism, the potential within global feminist movements such as SlutWalk, and the various inherent and inevitable challenges that occur. Overall, the manuscript is a brilliant and effective analysis of an extremely pivotal and influential movement.?Melinda Vandenbeld Giles, Department of Anthropology, University of Toron- to, Editor, Mothering in the Age of Neoliberalism.
