Trigger Warning by Sheila Jeffreys

This text is an explicit political autobiography and memoir by prominent British-Australian radical feminist scholar Sheila Jeffreys. The book directly details her decades-long personal and professional life as an out lesbian separatist, charting the evolution of lesbian-feminist theory, activism, and community organizing from the 1970s Women’s Liberation Movement through to the 21st century.

In Trigger Warning, renowned radical feminist scholar Sheila Jeffreys delivers a fierce, uncompromising account of her life at the forefront of global sexual politics. Charting her journey from the early days of the Women’s Liberation Movement in 1970s Britain to her decades of academic and activist work in Australia, Jeffreys explores the foundational theories of lesbian separatism, grassroots campaigns against male violence, and the internal fractures of the queer political landscape. Both a deeply personal memoir and a rigorous historical document, this text places lesbian-feminist struggle within its vital socio-political context, detailing the personal victories and immense professional costs of an unrelenting commitment to women’s liberation.
