JUST RELEASED: Starting in October 2021, Karen's co-authored new book is available through Waveland Press
Feminism in Practice uses feminism as a blueprint for exploring change strategies. It features contemporary feminists from diverse arenas, including poet Amanda Gorman, musician Lizzo, climate activist Jamie Margolin, comedian Margaret Cho, showrunner Shonda Rhimes, NZ prime minister Jacinda Ardern, and US representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Readers come to know the women through brief biographies, their definitions of feminism, and the change strategies they employ. Questions for reflection encourage readers to think through their own relationship to feminism and change.
