There was an army
of Seven women.
In a battle
against partriarchy.
three ambush missions
One fall out.
Off to war?
It’s time to attack the system that feeds off the struggles of those who exist within it, that allows violence to go unpunished, that polices women “for their safety”, that perpetuates the cycle of oppression.
It is the story about a unit of militant women. Clotting. Once a book club, six friends turn militant after the tragic death of the club’s founder, Dee.
Pushed to the edge by this final act in what is only the most recent slew of violent crimes against women – on the path at Rhodes Memorial, behind a dumpster at Stanford, in a bathroom stall in Khayelitsha, on a foot trail in Tokai Forest – this unit decides that it’s time to push back.Ripe.FIGS
But each woman has a different experience of oppression. Friction. And each woman has a different response. Chaffing. Can these women work together to push back against the system? What does this push back look like? Everything on the floor.
Do these women have the answer?
