Love and Lightning: A Collection of Queer-Feminist Manifestos

Compiled by Girls Like Us Magazine and Sarah van Binsbergen, this collection spans over a century of queer and feminist manifestos from 1913 to the present. Divided into eleven chapters with socio-historical context, the volume presents diverse forms of manifesto writing across geographical borders, from classic activist texts to poetic compositions. Contributors include Sojourner Truth, Valentine de Saint-Point, Mierle Laderman-Ukeles, and Paul B. Preciado, among others. The 11-chapter anthology draws from all corners of the world, especially Asia, Africa, and Latin America, examining how manifestos transcend conventional boundaries to emancipate readers to envision their own revolutionary possibilities.
