BIPOC and LGBTQ Feminist Radical Visionaries

This insightful book explores the contributions of seven feminist visionaries, showcasing their transformative impact on equity and justice within feminist theory and practice.

This book honors the journeys and contributions of seven feminist visionaries, who share some of their most formative experiences and challenges that fostered a desire for equity, justice, and collective wellbeing. By focusing on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) individuals, it highlights how these voices have contributed to a paradigm shift in feminist theory and practice through an intersectional and inclusive approach to liberation.

The transformations to feminism, psychology, psychotherapy, and other areas following the immeasurable contributions of these visionaries are vast and have produced enduring changes. Each chapter provides reflections and wisdom about what remains unfinished in the quest for building an equitable and just society. These deep and critical reflections serve as an excellent resource for anyone seeking to increase their awareness of equity and justice in psychology.

BIPOC and LGBTQ Feminist Radical Visionaries also offers insights into how lived experiences inform intellectual and professional pursuits, and vice versa. This book will serve as an exceptional accompaniment to any course aiming to expose students to these indispensable perspectives, which are both personal and professional in nature. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Women & Therapy.
