Description
Both a radical feminist history and a street art resource, this handbook combines short biographies with striking and usable stencil images of 30 female activists, anarchists, feminists, freedom fighters, and visionaries. From Harriet Tubman, Emma Goldman, and Angela Davis to Vandana Shiva, Sylvia Rivera, and Lucy Parsons, this collection offers a subversive portrait celebrating the military prowess and revolutionary drive of these women whose violent resolve often shatters the archetype of show more woman as nurturer.

Revolutionary Women is successful in its project of creating images of intriguing women in the fashion of Che Guevara’s iconic stencil while also providing brief biographies. This book has a refreshingly global representation of women from different countries and cultures, and with different revolutionary tactics and philosophies. The biographies include very minimal background information, but such brevity allows the courage of these thirty women to be highlighted regardless of the causes for which they fought.
Not just a book of stencils but also an interesting look into the lives of some fascinating women.
