The Spectral Woman
Unveils the radical feminine force to dismantle the oppressive structures of gender, class, and colonialism
'A radical feminisation of the world' - McKenzie Wark, author of Reverse Cowgirl
What if the feminine holds the power to undo domination itself? The Spectral Woman, by Ciara Cremin, reveals the feminine as the force that can abolish the rigid categories of sex and gender sustaining class exploitation, androcentrism, and repression. With bold, incisive arguments, she explores the transformative potential of feminine jouissance, offering a radical path towards emancipation.
Rejecting the myths of diversity, difference, and individualism, Cremin confronts the illusions of liberal humanism, advocating for a utopian femininity that challenges the psychic impairments perpetuated by capitalist, colonial, and patriarchal systems.
In a world haunted by the spectre of the transfeminine figure, Cremin sheds light on the profound potential to decolonise the unconscious and reimagine a future beyond oppression. The Spectral Woman is a bold manifesto for those willing to interrogate the structures that bind us and envision their abolition.
