By (author): Pumla Dineo Gqola. This collection of fourteen essays by Pumla Dineo Gqola blends academic and personal writing to explore feminist thought and lived experience, covering embodiment, racism, motherhood and Black women's representation in public life. Gqola writes about navigating South African universities as a Black woman, how reading writers like Alice Walker shaped her feminist consciousness, and why she sees rage as a necessary response to injustice — arguing throughout that "another world is possible."

This is a brilliant collection of essays which covers a wide array of topics, both academic and personal. Reading her essay made me feel like was sitting in a room with her listening to explain concepts with ease.
From explorations of motherhood and representation to essays on controversial artworks and the wonderful work by FEMRITE, an organization of Ugandan women writers, it’s worth the read.
