Feminist theory for the curious

We are a digital collective of intersectional feminists. Our main aim is to make feminist theory easier to access and understand.

  • We create our content in series, with different topics in each series. For each topic, we release a theory article and a podcast episode, as well as some key dictionary definitions.

  • Theory Articles
    In this section you will find all of our written content. This includes the theory pieces written for our new series as well as all of our archives of our written pieces. Under each article, you can see whether it is part of Series 1 or an archive piece.

  • Podcast
    This is where you can find all of our podcast episodes and any other audio-visual content. Each podcast will have a post which will then link you to theory articles and dictionary definitions that are related to the same topic.

  • Feminist Dictionary
    There is so much jargon in feminist theory. Our feminist dictionary is a space where you can quickly look up a brief introduction to a term or topic you haven’t heard of before. Our definitions are written for us by some of our fellow feminists outside of the Grabbing Back team, so check out their takes. Each definition will also have links to any related written or audio content.

SERIES 1:

Over the last six months, we have been releasing content explaining some of what we think are the bread-and-butter topics in modern feminist theory. So often in conversation we feel like we’re just nodding along to all of the mentions of ‘bell hooks’ and ‘Butler’, ‘Spivak’ and ‘subalterns,’ hoping nobody notices we haven’t got a clue what they’re on about. So we thought it was about time we went through some of the core concepts that are so often left unexplained.
