Abstract	"There are many sorts of catastrophes, ranging from devastating fires, floods, and earthquakes to sexual violence, genocides, and wars-but this collection of feminist essays focuses upon three broad types: epidemics/pandemics, anti-Black racism, and climate breakdown. These are public catastrophes, profoundly shaped by government action and inaction. The essays reveal that it is impossible to fully understand-or challenge-the structural harms associated with public catastrophe without appreciating their personal dimension, or reckoning with the ways that power thoroughly conditions our experiences as individuals and as members of communities.
