Abstract [en]

Feminism and the City (FATC, 2021) is a Ukrainian comic book based on a series of online feminist blog posts authored by Emma Antoniuk, a columnist for the website Gender in Detail. FATC promotes an awareness of gender discrimination, thematizes critical feminist concerns, and suggests ready-made strategies for activism in the pursuit of gender justice. The comic book comprises ten free-standing stories, each of which depicts Emma's experiences or observations of life from a feminist perspective. Common to each of the stories is Emma's enthusiastic advocacy for gender justice in Ukraine that has characterised her life and career path. The present chapter represents a brief and targeted analysis of FATC as an example of feminist activism in the Ukrainian context. We approach FATC as a feminist activist field guide, focusing on two stories that explicitly engage with language usage and thus showcase the interplay of image and text, taking advantage of the comics medium both to depict potential scenarios and to model linguistic strategies of feminist activism. This chapter specifically highlights two critical aspects of promoting feminist activism: gender-fair language and discourse strategies of advocacy.
