Summary

Looking at the world through a feminist lens reveals absurd, tragic, and fascinating situations. Written by feminists from eleven different countries, this book offers bite-sized takes on contemporary feminist issues. The 34 games each take less than an hour and range from silly to serious, including scenarios about selfies and rom-coms as well as reproductive rights and domestic violence. And of course, enjoyment has no ideological boundaries—there are games here for participants new to feminism as well as those experienced in making gender arguments on the internet.
