Abstract

ABSTRACT Women and revolutions have always had a thorny relationship. Women’s mere presence in the revolutionary public sphere and within protest culture has been the site of much controversy. More recently, from the Occupy Movement to the Women’s Marches, from Black Lives Matter to Femen, women protests have turned to performative practices to bring to light the material conditions of resistance within a framework informed by queer and trans. theories, transnational feminism, Indigenous resistance, and eco-critical struggles. This article looks at these performative and queering strategies within progressive revolutions today. It also analyses how decolonising solidarity amplifies or deepens our understanding of intersectional feminism.
