Glitch Feminism: A Manifesto by Legacy Russell (2020)

How do we become and reimagine ourselves in a world online?

Sharing here a (free) digital copy of Legacy Russell’s Glitch Feminism (2020). The book is among the most formative texts in cyber feminist theory and has forged dialogues surrounding self-definition in the digital era.

In the book’s Introduction, Russell asserts, “Glitch feminism dissents, pushes back against capitalism…As glitch feminists, this is our politic: we refuse to be hewn to the hegemonic line of a binary body.” A few passages later she continues, “The glitch is a passage through which the body traverses toward liberation, a tear in the fabric of the digital.”
