This month, Dua was joined on the Service95 Book Club by writer, professor and social commentator Roxane Gay to talk through her essay collection Bad Feminist, which has spent more than a decade being sharp, funny and uncomfortably right about feminism and culture. Together, they unpacked some of Dua’s favourite essays from the book, noting how Roxane’s observations are still, and at times more, relevant today. (You can find their full conversation here.)
But for this episode of the Service95 Book Club podcast, it’s over to you. We turned to the Service95 community to find out which questions you’ve always wanted to ask one of the most influential feminist voices of our time, from whether literature can drive real change and what it costs to write honestly about yourself in public, to how you protect your interior life when the internet has opinions about it. Roxane answered all of it and more.
Hear all her responses by watching the episode here or listening to it as a podcast here.
