The Weird Sister Collection

“Weird Sister stands the test of time… the great variety of voices, topics, and approaches within this collection make it immensely appealing and important reading.” —BUST (“Lit Pick” Winter 2024) “In this stimulating anthology, pieces balance a breezy style with intelligent interrogations of what it means to be a woman today. The result is an approachable examination of contemporary feminism.” —Publishers Weekly “The Weird Sister Collection is a hilarious, delicious, and earnest dive into the intersection of feminism and culture. Reminiscent of not just zine-style writing but era-defining collections like To Be Real and Making Face, Making Soul, this experimental collection of writing is a must-have for anyone asking questions about identity, belonging, and the current and future state of not just feminism but all the intersectional ‘isms’ that can either hold our imaginations captive or free us.” —Samhita Mukhopadhyay, former executive editor of Teen Vogue “Feminist thought is alive and well in The Weird Sister Collection. Whether it drives you to start a zine or tear down a statue of a Confederate general, one thing’s for sure: after you read this book, you won’t want to just sit there and suffer anymore.” —Rax King, author of Tacky: Love Letters to the Worst Culture We Have to Offer “The Weird Sister Collection captures with audacious wit and unapologetic earnestness the zeitgeist of the eponymous blogging community that published at the intersection of the feminist and the literary. To read this book is to know that I am not alone in reading passionately in feminist community outside of the academy and traditional literary establishment. I am grateful for the space that Weird Sister made online and am immensely thankful now to have this collection with so many fierce writers in one place, recreating the delightfully weird online village that continues to inspire so many.” —Susana M. Morris, coauthor of Feminist AF: A Guide to Crushing Girlhood
