N2 - In this chapter, drawing on the case of reproductive activism in Ireland, and the project ‘In Her Shoes’, I explore the relationship between feminist ideas and policymaking (or unmaking) through a focus on a relatively unusual site of policy work – grassroots abortion storytelling practices. This allows me to make two contributions to thinking about feminist policymaking: first, by positing the idea of feminist policy(un)making, I identify a mode of policy change that is particularly conducive to feminist mobilisations; second, and relatedly, I demonstrate how storytelling can be understood as feminist policy(un)making and why.
