Show notes

In Abolish The Family, leading feminist critic Sophie Lewis asks us to imagine a world without families. She traces the history of family abolitionism, before introducing us to the groundbreaking politics of radical feminists and gay liberationists that have called for a society organised without the family at its core. Lewis was joined by Lola Olufemi, author of Experiments In Imagining Otherwise.
