It bears repeating that Total Woman Victory was founded in the anonymous niches of the internet, not because the women behind this project had doubts regarding their political allegiances, but because their own feminist consciousness was shaped in no small part by the antagonism women have historically faced when navigating discursive territory, from both right and left.

It was after the explosion of genocidal Zionist apologia, post-October 2023, in many of these aforementioned spaces that the Marxist and anti-imperialist enclaves of online feminists rapidly settled into agreement that the onus of carving out a space for ourselves fell squarely on our own shoulders—but we remained convinced that there was a courage, honesty, and candidness which only anonymity could sometimes provide.

At this publication, we hope to contend with conversations unapologetically. We rebuke the mealy-mouthed, purposefully defanged laissez-faire attitudes of liberal feminism which run cover for patriarchal and capitalist violence. Our contributors are encouraged to—and do, from all over the world—take on such goliaths as gender, religious extremism, imperialist hegemony and myopia, intracommunal chauvinism, and so on and so forth.

There is a throughline of loss running through the history of combative feminist politics. At the pyre of liberation, women have lost, and continue to lose—their families, their children, their education, their livelihoods, and indeed, their lives.

While we believe, unflinchingly, that courage anywhere calls to courage everywhere, our priority will always be the safety of the extraordinary women who choose to put their pens to paper, and have chosen to bestow us with the honor and responsibility of broadcasting their voices.

Should you choose to maintain it, our editorial team pledges to uphold your anonymity at all costs.

You toiling wretched of the earth, you loveless and frigid spinster, you failing mother with your heaving breast, you with the sweat upon your brow, you hunched-over crone, you condemned blasphemer, you witch, you madwoman—we hope this reaches you as the reassurance it is meant to be.

Solidarity forever, sister.
