In “Feminism and Abolition” Angela Davis talks about the need for feminism to concern itself with issues that may not seem directly linked to the women rights movement like prison abolition. She also reminds us about the connection between personal and political and how these two intermingle and influence each other. She also looks at examples of different types of violence – physical, political and epistemic. She asks why was it necessary to put a Black woman’s face on the terrorist list?
