Nasty women : feminism, resistance, and revolution in Trump's America

Summary: The 2016 election of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency was a devastating blow to marginalized people around the country - immigrants, Muslims, the LGBTQ community, and black Americans. Intersecting with every one of those groups were women, who despaired over the halt in progress of their rights as equal citizens. When 53 percent of white women voted for Trump and 94 percent of black women voted for Hillary, can we even speak about "women" as a cohesive group? In the face of these challenges, how can we work together to persist, resist, and enact lasting change?
