Description: In her political zine, "Killing the 'Joy'", Asma Asghar opens with Aristotle’s definition of happiness. Asghar challenges this idea by claiming that Aristotle and his society did not even consider women citizens. She later goes on to say the being a "killjoy" is a feminist act of rebellion and that one must challenge others’ joy to find their own.
Notes: Cover title.

This zine was made for Meredith Benjamin's First Year Seminar Women and the Politics of Anger class, spring 2019.
