**ANNOUNCEMENT**: [Full Surrogacy Now! Audiobook](/writing/full-surrogacy-now/)
|
||
|
||
I’m ***Sophie Lewis***, writer, speaker, teacher, and former academic.
|
||
|
||
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. [link to FSN page]
|
||
|
||
My pamphlet on family abolition, Beyond the Family: The Case for Abolition, is forthcoming from Verso in 2022.
|
||
|
||
I have a “Visiting Scholar” title at the Center for Research in Feminist, Queer and Transgender Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, however, in real terms I am a freelancer who is entirely dependent on my patreon subscribers, speaking fees, and Brooklyn Institute course enrollees. Check out [my course offerings here](https://thebrooklyninstitute.com/people/sophie-lewis/).
|
||
|
||
Since 2013, I have lectured in thirty cities and written for dozens of magazines and journals, including The New York Times. I hope you enjoy my video and essay archives and consider supporting my work.
