of ISIS. The piece, “Bureau of Sex Slavery,” was published in the
The Nation, French Elle, and Alternet. Her interview with Yanar
Mohammed on the same topic ran in The Huffington Post.

“I am thinking of the women, the thousands of women around this
world who have worked endlessly for years and years exhausting
every fiber of their beings to make rape real, to end this pathology
of violence and hatred towards us and no matter how logical we
are, how patient, how empathetic, how many studies we do, how
many numbers we show, how many survivors we treat, how many
stories we hear, how many daughters we bury, how many cancers
we get, the war against us rages on, each day more methodical,
more brazen, brutal, more psychotic.
I am thinking that ISIS—like rising
sea levels, melting glaciers, and
murderous temperatures—may
be the scalding indicator that
the end game for women is near.
The day has arrived when eons
of women’s rage must in turn
coalesce into a fiery volcanic
force, unleashing the global
vagina fury of female goddesses
Kali, Oya, Pele, Mami Wata, Hera,
Durga, Inanna, and Ixchel—and
let our wrath lead the way.”
