With deep compassion, Thuma offers one of the most compelling historical analyses of how feminist activism of Black, gender queer, and criminalized women has worked to resist the long and dangerous reach of the carceral state. All Our Trials is an import All Our Trials is a tour de force. It stands among the best books on the history of modern feminist politics and represents one of the most elucidating histories of the US carceral state produced to date. Emily Thuma centers criminalized women's ideas and organizing, providing graceful historical analysis that will undoubtedly influence current conversations about imprisonment, gender, and sexual violence. This history opens a fiercely urgent path toward an anticarceral feminist future. --Sarah Haley, author of No Mercy Here: Gender, Punishment, and the Making of Jim Crow Modernity All Our Trials offers us a robust history of late twentieth-century radical feminist antiviolence organizing. Thuma reminds us that the activism of the present is built upon an important legacy of work that traversed movements and prison walls. If we are to build an abolitionist feminist future, we would be wise to pay attention to the antiracist queer feminist politics of these activists. We owe a debt of gratitude to them for paving the way, and to Thuma for chronicling their struggles. --Angela Y. Davis

All Our Trials transforms our understanding of both the history of feminism and of the carceral state. In her deeply compelling account, Thuma documents the work of activists who centered the lives of the most marginalized in their social justice imaginary and their political agenda, producing an anticarceral feminist politics and an expansive analysis of the interconnections between interpersonal and state violence. A crucial and timely read as we wrestle with gender, race, and violence today. --Regina Kunzel, author of Criminal Intimacy: Prison and the Uneven History of Modern American Sexuality With deep compassion, Thuma offers one of the most compelling historical analyses of how feminist activism of Black, queer, and criminalized women has worked to resist the long and dangerous reach of the carceral state. All Our Trials is an important text in the growing fields of critical prison studies and anti-carceral feminism and a critical addition to activist reading lists. --Beth Richie, author of Arrested Violence: Black Women, Violence, and America's Prison Nation All Our Trials offers us a robust history of late twentieth-century radical feminist antiviolence organizing.
