Vivian D. Nixon
Abstract:In this essay, Nixon, a formerly incarcerated woman, reflects on Angela Y. Davis, one of history's unsung women, and her own thoughts surrounding prison abolition. She discusses her desire for a reimagined and responsive system that promotes human dignity, healing, and restoration by addressing behaviors that harm oneself or others, arguing that any such system must be accountable to those whom it governs. The prose is interspersed with Nixon's poetry.
摘要:在这篇文章中，曾被监禁的女性尼克松回顾了历史上默默无闻的女性之一安吉拉-戴维斯（Angela Y. Davis），以及她自己关于废除监狱的想法。她讨论了自己的愿望，即建立一个重新构想的、反应灵敏的系统，通过解决伤害自己或他人的行为来促进人的尊严、治疗和恢复，并认为任何这样的系统都必须对其所管理的人负责。散文中穿插了尼克松的诗歌。

Lebogang Mashile
Abstract:The award-winning play Venus vs Modernity unpacks the life of Saartjie Baartman, a South African woman of Khoi descent, who was exhibited as a freak show in nineteenth-century Europe under the name "Hottentot Venus." At the peak of her fame in the early 1800s, Saartjie Baartman became a reference point for abolitionists, fashion designers, and political satirists alike. Her remains were dissected and put on display at the French National Museum for 150 years. In 2002, Saartjie Baartman was finally returned to the land of her birth.

Nicole Shawan Junior
Abstract:Through recollection, Junior, a lawyer who has spent a decade prosecuting intimate partner violence, is faced with the biases inherent to legal presumption when she finds herself having to prove to the Pennsylvania Superior Court that the child she brought into the world with her wife can legally be declared hers. In the context of family law, a child born of a married couple is presumed to be the husband's, regardless of biological relation. However, this presumption only applies to cis-men. It does not apply to cis-women wives who, though not biologically or gestationally related to a child, have taken on the full breadth of financial responsibilities, emotional devotion, and medical actions necessary to bring that child into the world. With queer women's rising reliance on ART, cases like Junior's are happening more and more.
摘要:小詹姆斯（Junior）是一名律师，曾花了十年时间起诉亲密伴侣间的暴力行为，当她发现自己必须向宾夕法尼亚州高级法院证明，她与妻子所生的孩子可以合法地宣布为她的孩子时，她通过回忆，发现了法律推定所固有的偏见。在家庭法中，夫妻双方所生的孩子被推定为丈夫的孩子，无论其血缘关系如何。但是，这种推定只适用于顺式男性。它不适用于那些与孩子没有血缘关系或妊娠关系，但却承担了将孩子带到这个世界上所需的全部经济责任、情感奉献和医疗行动的同性妻子。随着同性恋妇女对 ART 的依赖程度越来越高，像 Junior 这样的案例也越来越多。

Koa Beck
Abstract:In this essay, Beck, a licensed foster parent, analyzes how an individualistic approach to family repair sets mothers up to fail. In addition to being assessed and punished as an individual, she is now required to change her circumstances as an individual, tasked with creating an entirely different life with very little assistance, in a truncated period of time.
