In Living a Feminist Life Sara Ahmed displays how feminist theory is generated from everyday life and the normal experiences to be a feminist at home and at the job.

Building on legacies of feminist of color scholarship or grant in particular, Ahmed presents a poetic and personal meditation on what feminists become estranged from worlds they critique-often by naming and calling attention to problems-and how feminists find out about worlds off their attempts to change them. Ahmed also provides her most suffered commentary for the figure of the feminist killjoy released in her previous work while displaying how feminists create inventive solutions-such as developing support systems-to survive the shattering experiences of facing the walls of racism and sexism.

The killjoy survival kit and killjoy manifesto, with which the book concludes, supply practical tools for how exactly to live a feminist life, thereby strengthening the ties between your inventive creation of feminist theory and living a life that sustains it.
