Intersectionality is a term coined thirty years ago by Kimberlé Crenshaw, meant to speak for human beings based on their vulnerabilities not their identities. Today over 50% of US women identify as feminists, but that badge of honor represents something distinct for different women (cis or trans), men (cis or trans), intersex and non-binary people. Black women still make $0.62 to White women’s $0.79 in the US. Transgender people live at a poverty rate of 29% compared to the national average of 12%. Gender rights are complex and layered. Trying to comprehend it all can be overwhelming.
Feminism in particular has become a triggering subject for all genders and creating a book that can bring some perspective using the fun analogy of cat behavior is a great way to ease people into having the necessary discussions about gender equality and overall women’s rights. The book has sections such as ‘A Cat in Gloves Catches No Mice’, which speaks on unapologetic aggression towards justice, while the section ‘This Pussy Grabs Back’ speaks about the evolution of consent and how many in numbers now have the unison voice to speak up.
With the experience conducting social justice workshops, becoming a birth doula and working with numerous human equity groups, writing a fun book about feminism was an obvious next step for Majella along with illustrator Kevena Hammond. This book is for the feminists desiring creative ways to bring inclusivity, the parents who need guidance on starting the conversation with their families, the cat lovers who want to engage different people in a space of understanding and the casual readers who want something to scroll through while relaxing. This book is fun, informative, and unapologetic, focused on constructing opportunities for interconnectivity.
