The Guerrilla Feminist: A Search for Belonging Online and Offline

by Lachrista Greco

The Guerrilla Feminist: A Search for Belonging Online & Offline is a raw, deeply personal, and sharply insightful journey through the intersections of digital activism, feminism, and the relentless pursuit of belonging. Lachrista Greco, the powerhouse behind Guerrilla Feminism, takes readers on an unflinching exploration of her life online and off, weaving together memoir and cultural critique.

From the creation of groundbreaking digital feminist spaces to grappling with trauma, intersectionality, and the contradictions of virtual community, Greco's essays shine a light on the complexities of seeking solidarity in a fractured world. With fierce honesty and keen analysis, she reflects on the power and pitfalls of digital activism, the politics of identity, and the enduring search for connection amidst resistance.
At once a love letter and a call to action, The Guerrilla Feminist is essential reading for anyone navigating the intersections of social justice, online spaces, and the messy, beautiful realities of modern feminism.

I read this in just a few sittings, I couldn’t put it down. The memoir quality woven together with thoughtfully researched information on feminism and digital activism was profoundly enlightening and enjoyable. As an elder millennial woman and artist with a decent following on instagram (who has also experienced a vicious social media dogpiling btw!), I connected with so many of Lachrista’s stories and experiences. I learned from these pages and I discovered more resources to expand my knowledge. I’ll refer back to this book often.
