Notes from a feminist killjoy : essays on everyday life / Erin Wunker. by Wunker, Erin, 1979- BookThug, 2016. Call #: 305.4201 W965n Subjects Feminist theory.   Feminism.   Feminists -- Nova Scotia -- Biography.   Margaret and John Savage First Book Award.   Evelyn Richardson Non-Fiction Award. Series Essais (Toronto, Ont.) ; 2. ISBN:  9781771662567 (hc.) Alternate title:  Feminist killjoy : essays on everyday life Description:  204 pages ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  Erin Wunker is a feminist killjoy, and she thinks you should be one, too. Following in the tradition of Sara Ahmed (the originator of the concept "feminist killjoy"), Wunker brings memoir, theory, literary criticism, pop culture, and feminist thinking together in this collection of essays that take up Ahmed's project as a multi-faceted lens through which to read the world from a feminist point of view. The essays attempt to think publicly about why we need feminism, and especially why we need the figure of the feminist killjoy, now. From the complicated practices of being a mother and a feminist, to building friendship amongst women as a community-building and sustaining project, to writing that addresses rape culture from the Canadian context and beyond, this book invites the reader into a conversation about gender, feminism and living in our inequitable world. Erin Wunker is Chair of the Board of the national non-profit organization Canadian Women in the Literary Arts (cwila.com) and co-founder, writer, and managing editor of the feminist academic blog Hook & Eye: Fast Feminism, Slow Academe. She teaches courses in Canadian literature and cultural production with a special focus on cultural production by women. She lives in Halifax with her partner, their daughter, and Marley the dog. This is Wunker's first book. Awards:  Winner of the Evelyn Richardson Prize for Non-Fiction, 2017. Winner of the Margaret and John Savage First Book Award, 2017. Genre:  Essays. Memoirs.
