Drumroll please … the Carnival of Feminists No 21 is now up on Being Amber Rhea. And this time you don’t even have to imagine the sound-effects, because Amber has created a carnival first – a podcast. I’m at work so I can’t listen to it now, but I’m sure it is just as excellent as the rest of the carnival.

I was particularly taken by the section on defining your feminism – always a tough task. (My answer usually depends on which day you ask me…)

But don’t dally here, do go over and check out the carnival.

The next Carnival of Feminists is coming up fast, to be on Being Amber Rhea. Get your nominations in now, at the Blog Carnival form, or to amber [at] tangerinecs [dot] com. (Please put Carnival of Feminist in the subject line.)

… for it is carnival time. Now up on Super Babymama, the Carnival of Feminists No 20.

And it is a spectacular, if often shocking show: posts from the carnage in the Middle East (both Lebanon and Iraq), and a focus on the effects of poverty – I was particularly taken by a post by cat(s)wymming about how living the grad student life is for her a relief from poverty (when others regard it as such).

But don’t waste time here – go over there and check out the full spread. And do please help to spread the word!

Not quite too late, you’ve still got a few hours to get your nomination in for the next Carnival of Feminists, on Super Babymama. You can use the form, or email manderson37 AT sbcglobal DOT net.

Don’t forget that the next edition of the Carnival of Feminists is coming up this week, on Figure: Demystifying the Feminist Mystique – nominate early, nominate often.

The theme is “loosely based around feminism and career – but as usual this is just a recommendation and you can follow it or totally ignore it”.

Email feministfigure AT gmail DOT com, or you can use the nomination form.
