‘An extraordinary book—written with compassion, fearlessness and determination to imagine a more equal world into being. A joy to read and to think with.’ — New Statesman 

Lola Olufemi’s first book, Feminism, Interrupted, was a bold call to seize feminism back from the cultural gatekeepers and return it to its radical roots. Now she’s back with Experiments In Imagining Otherwise.

Through a series of playful written experiments, Lola navigates the space between what is and what could be. Weaving together prose and poetry, this is an exploration of the possibility of living differently, grounded in black feminist scholarship and political organising.
