Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) feminist visionaries have contributed to a paradigm shift in feminist theory and practice by espousing an intersectional and inclusive conceptualization of liberation. This book honors the journeys and contributions of seven feminist visionaries, who share some of their most formative experiences and challenges that fomented a desire for equity, justice, and collective wellbeing. The transformations to feminism, psychology, psychotherapy, and other areas following their immeasurable contributions are vast and have produced enduring changes. The chapters in this volume also offer their reflections and wisdom about what remains unfinished in service to building an equitable and just society. These deep and critical reflections serve as an excellent resource for anyone seeking to increase their awareness of equity and justice in psychology. Readers will also have a view into how it is that lived experiences inform intellectual and professional pursuits, and vice versa. This book will serve as an exceptional accompaniment to any course aiming to expose students to these indispensable perspectives which are at once personal and, undoubtedly, professional.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Women & Therapy.
