I am currently working on two book projects, but I also write ad-hoc commissioned essays for magazines including *Harpers*, *The Nation* and *The London Review of Books* on subjects ranging from Marilyn Monroe to medieval alewives. In 2019, my op-ed explaining "How British Feminism Became Anti-Trans" appeared in *The New York Times.* In my capacity as a faculty member of the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research, I teach online courses, open to all, on feminist history, trans feminism, *The Dialectic of Sex*, femonationalism and more. My first book, *Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family*, was first published by Verso Books in 2019 (the paperback and audiobook were released in August 2021). In the intervening period, I was profiled in publications ranging from *Vice* to *Die Zeit*, interviewed in *Bookforum* and *The Nation*, and invited to give keynotes at conferences hosted by universities like Brown, Brighton and Princeton. It is now frequently said that I "launched a global conversation about abolition of the nuclear family."

My tweeted thoughts on a Netflix documentary, *My Octopus Teacher* (which later won an Oscar), inflamed sensibilities to the extent that news articles even appeared in venues like *The Guardian* about the "scandal" of my interpretation. After the dust had settled, my essay reflecting on the saga appeared in *n+1*, where I laid out my views on erotophobia, multispecies love, cephalopod cognition and more. Magazines where my essays on topics both related and unrelated to \#octopusgate over the past five years include: *Mal*, *Mute*, *Commune*, *e-flux*, *Logic*, *Boston Review*, *Salvage Quarterly*, *The New Inquiry*, *Viewpoint*, *Dissent* and *The Baffler*. The final chapter of *Full Surrogacy Now*, "Amniotechnics," has been reprinted four times---including by a feminist iris-printing collective in the Netherlands, who spliced my text together with the 1970 manifesto Triple Jeopardy, by the Third World Women's Alliance. In Paris and Berlin, the "curatorial research-based entity" The World in Which We Occur / Matter in Flux used my phrase "electric brine" as the title of an anthology of liquid poems and essays, reproducing "Amniotechnics" alongside contributions by several other hydrofeminist poets and philosophers. - -At present I occasionally organize or participate in symposia at theUniversity of Pennsylvania, where I hold a nominal title ("Visiting Scholar") at the Center for Research in Feminist, Queer, and Transgender Studies. I graduated from Oxford University with a BA in English Literature in 2010, and then stayed on to earn an MSc in Nature, Society and Environmental Policy. Between 2011 and 2013, I studied as a Fulbright Scholar at the New School for Social Research in New York, graduating with an MA in Politics. At that stage, I won a full scholarship from a Research Council in the United Kingdom to pursue a PhD at the University of Manchester, which I completed in 2017 with my thesis about gestationality: "Cyborg Labor." Until Covid-19 hit, I continued to present my research at conferences in the humanities and social sciences evert year. My peer-reviewed articles have appeared in *Feminist Theory*, *Signs*, *Gender Place & Culture*, *Dialogues in Human Geography*, *Frontiers*, *Feminist Review*, *Science as Culture* and *Society & Space*.

+ "Lewis builds a harsh yet well-grounded portrait of familial dysfunction. This provocation stings." +

Publisher's Weekly

+ + "Family is a terrible way to satisfy our desire for love and care, according to the writer and academic Sophie Lewis. The solution? Abolish it." +

Erin Maglaque

+
+
+

+ “I am consistently dazzled by Sophie Lewis's work, which is both intellectually capacious and heart-expanding. Abolish the Family is a liberatory demand and a world-making project proposed here with revolutionary love and inimitable style. Without fail, Lewis clarifies, disrupts and inspires.” +

+

Natasha Lennard, Being Numerous: Essays on Non-Fascist Life

+
+ +
+

+ “The idea of family abolition tends to provoke skeptical reactions: Can't families be a source of solidarity? Without families, who would we count on when things get tough? Shouldn't we protect vulnerable families, ostracized families, separated families? Sophie Lewis faces up to the hard questions without flinching, while ultimately steering us towards different ones: How else could we live, and who else could we be? Abolish the Family is a rigorously utopian, radically compassionate, unapologetically revolutionary manifesto, by equal parts thrilling and sobering. We all deserve better than the family, Lewis argues, and it’s up to all of us to build new forms of solidarity and care that reach beyond biology or even kin, even if we don’t know quite what they’ll look like. Abolish the Family will make you want to find out.” +

+

Alyssa Battistoni

“Sharp, engaging, and bursting with intellectual energy, Abolish the Family is a triumph. Whether you come to this book as a critic of The Family or as its most ardent supporter, you're sure to find something within its pages to move, challenge, or provoke you. It's a joy to read, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.'”

- Helen Hester, author of Xenofeminism +

Helen Hester, Xenofeminism

“Sophie Lewis once again shines forth as one of the boldest thinkers of our current moment with this highly anticipated sequel to her groundbreaking Full Surrogacy Now. How might we understand caring, sharing, and loving outside the concept of kinship? In this energizing little book - part history and critical analysis, part manifesto — Lewis helps us understand family abolition as world-making rather than as a subtraction of infrastructure, and she does so with remarkable clarity, precision, and wit.”

- “What would it be like to imagine a communism not just of wealth but also of care, love and belonging? Where the full range of human needs are met without depending on the fragile bubble of the nuclear family? That institution we are all supposed to believe will be there for us - even though so many books and films detail all the ways in which it fails. This is the difficult yet important terrain where Sophie Lewis ventures. Abolish the Family is a short, sharp shock to our assumptions about the good life and how to achieve it.” -

- McKenzie Wark, author of A Hacker Manifesto and Molecular Red -
- -
-

- “Sophie Lewis and her expansive vision of feminism are desperately needed right now. She makes the work of undoing what ‘womanhood’ has come to mean look possible and irresistible.” -

- Melissa Gira Grant, author of Playing the Whore -
- -
-

- “In her writing, Lewis shows us the kind of feminist care that is within our reach and the intellectual work we must do to actualise it. Generous, charged and always underpinned by a comradely orientation to its reader, Abolish the Family traverses historical and contemporary arguments for unmaking the bourgeois family and methodically interrogates the idea that it is an unshakeable, ubiquitous institution that must be protected at all costs. Lewis draws on a number of radical political genealogies to say "no" - the nuclear family is a deficient provider of care and resource, a conceptual footstool for the racist nation-state and its many border regimes, a hotbed of gendered exploitation and violence… there are other possibilities! Let’s embrace them together!” -

- Lola Olufemi, author of Feminism, Interrupted and Experiments in Imagining Otherwise -
- -
-

- “Sophie Lewis is at the top of a new generation of scholars and activists thinking the transformation of gestational labor within contemporary pharmacopornographic capitalism. Neither simply natural nor banally cultural, gestation appears as the unthought core of gender and sexual politics, and the key of a forthcoming womb revolution: trans-Marx meets mammal's politics!” -

- Paul B. Preciado, author of Testo Junkie -
- -
-

- “A bracing invitation to think beyond an institution that immiserates so many but that, for just as many, remains a fixed point of social possibility. Sophie Lewis is, as always, sharp, bold, compassionate and fearless.” -

- Amia Srinivasan, author of The Right to Sex -
- -
-

- “Sophie Lewis is at the forefront of a vital queer, trans, feminist communist movement to create an expansive field of revolutionary theory and strategy for today. Abolish the Family is an important contribution to Lewis's already discourse-shaping body of work, analyzing and seeking ways to move beyond the contradictory and complex function of families under conditions of extreme capital accumulation and capitalist crisis. A call for liberation from the privatization of domestic labor and the cruel scarcities of care under capitalism, Abolish the Family exhorts us toward something so much better than what we’ve got.” -
