Living A Feminist Life, Kim Solga

Department of English Publications

Very early in Living a Feminist Life, Sara Ahmed asks: ‘Where is feminism? It is a good question. We can ask ourselves: where did we find feminism, or where did feminism find us?’ (4). I read these lines on the Tube. I can’t remember where I was going, but I remember looking up, feeling the rocking of the carriage, hearing the sound of the train hit the points on the track. I met nobody’s eyes (I try not to on the Tube), but I had trouble looking down again. Ahmed’s words had pierced me.
