Inga Muscio (born c. 1966), is an American feminist, anti-racist writer and public speaker.[1][2]
She became famous after the publication of her 1998 Seal Press book Cunt: A Declaration of Independence,[3][4] which called for women to break down boundaries between themselves and their bodies, and each other.
She is also the author of the book Autobiography of a Blue-Eyed Devil: My Life and Times in a Racist Imperialist Society, (published by Seal Press in 2005) which examines and critiques white privilege, racism, colonialism among other issues.[2]
Her third book, Rose: Love in Violent Times (Seven Stories Press)[5] was released in November, 2010. It examines the presence of passive and physical violence in our daily lives and describes how we might find love within this violence.
