Tato autorka zkoumá feministické hnutí s kritickou optikou. Zaměřuje se na aktivismus mainstreamových feministek, zejména v kontextu hnutí proti sexuálnímu násilí, a analyzuje, kdo je v těchto hnutích zastoupen a kdo opomenut. Její práce se zabývá tím, jak feministické snahy ovládané bílými ženami usilují spíše o moc než o skutečnou demontáž patriarchálních struktur. Vyzývá k radikálnějšímu a revolučnějšímu přístupu feminismu, který by se inspiroval konceptem 'aboličního feminismu', a nabízí praktický návod pro reflexi a rozvoj feministické politiky.
