I’m Sophie Lewis, writer, speaker, teacher, and recovering academic.

Ian Bonaparte, of Janklow & Nesbit, is my literary agent, and you can contact him at ibonaparte@janklow.com.

You can order my latest book Femmephilia: Love Letters to Trans Mermaids, Queer Mothers, and Marilyn Monroe at Haymarket Books directly, or via bookshop.org.

My other, very different (!) love letter to feminism – a compendium of the feminisms we love to disavow – came out in 2025: Enemy Feminisms:TERFs, Policewomen, and Girlbosses Against Liberation.

My first book, Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family, was published by Verso Books in 2019. My second short book on family abolition, Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation, was published in 2022 (also by Verso). All my books are available as audiobooks.

All my work is supported exclusively by my Patreon subscribers, my speaking fees, and my Brooklyn Institute course enrollees. Check out my course offerings here.
