I am working on a book about “enemy feminisms”: eugenic, bioconservative, capitalist and imperial feminisms, cis feminisms that rely on narratives of so-called white slavery, femonationalism, and trans-exclusionary feminism.

Right now, my first book: _Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family_, published by Verso Books in 2019, is available as an Audiobook, and you can find more about it [here](/writing/full-surrogacy-now/).

My short book on family abolition, _Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation_, is forthcoming from Verso in 2022.
