Introduction

Sophie Lewis and Lola Olafemi talk about Abolish the Family. Sophie is a freelance writer in Philadelphia teaching courses for the Bricklin Institute for Social Research. She's also an unpaid visiting scholar at the Feminist Queer and Transgender Studies Centre at the University of Pennsylvania. To love a person is to struggle for their autonomy, as well as for their immersion in care insofar as such abundance is possible in a world choked by capital. If this is true, then restricting the number of mothers of whatever gender isn't necessarily a form of love worthy of name.
