Mind, Body, Language: How the Book “A Woman is a School” Rewrites Rebellion

Language is power. In the month of International Women’s Day, we celebrate the voices that speak for intersectional feminism and sacred rebellion. Céline Semaan’s “A Woman is a School”, published by The Slow Factory, reclaims language and the body as sacred vessels for eco-liberation and justice. Her words call us to action: it's time to stand together in solidarity for justice and collective healing. A reminder of the power of language to emancipate us in times of struggle. None of us is free, until all of us are free.
