With legendary anti-sexist and anti-racist campaigner, intersectional organiser, and winner of this year’s SMK Lifetime Achievement Award.

Selma James is 2021’s winner of the SMK Lifetime Achievement Award, for her antisexist, antiracist campaigning. For over sixty years, she has organised from the perspective of unwaged women who, with their biological and caring work, reproduce the whole human race—whatever else they do. This work goes on almost unnoticed everywhere, in every culture. It is not prioritized economically, politically, or socially, and women are discriminated against and impoverished for doing it.
