Only about a day, as I write, until the deadline for nominations for the Carnival of Feminists, which will be on Self Portrait As next Wednesday. So get nominating! At the submission form, or through email: holly AT mclo DOT net .

(Although if you read this late, Holly might consider stretching the deadline a little…)

.. at Women’s Autonomy and Sexual Sovereignty, where Morgaine has done a superb job. She concludes from the contributions:

Such is the lot of women – we get the extremes that society has to offer. The most danger, oppression, poverty. The least expression, respect, even tolerance.

Do go and check it out, and please help to spread the word.

(And a special thanks to Morgaine for forging ahead while I was distracted by other matters, and apologies for informing you of the carnival relatively late. I delivered 1,600 Green Party leaflets today, and my Achilles’ tendons may never forgive me.)

Sorry, I have been a rather slack founder of the carnival this edition, having been distracted for reasons obvious to regular readers. So please, get your nominations in NOW. Morgaine of Women’s Autonomy and Sexual Sovereignty Movements says:

“I can’t wait to read all the submissions – blow me away, ladies!”

Email submissions to morgaine AT the-goddess DOT org, or use the submission form.

The Carnival of Feminists No 13 IS UP, and Terry has done a spectacularly good job. It ranges widely in space and time, from that increasingly backward state where it is apparently becoming increasingly difficult to buy even condoms, let alone any other form of contraception, to the discrimination against older women in the Jewish world, to the progress made by women in Pakistan and that not made in the Caribbean, where Christian leaders refuse to take on the issue of domestic violence.

A whole world of feminism is there: please check it out, and help to spread the word!

Don’t forget that you’ve only got a day to get in your nominations for the Carnival of Feminists No 13, which will be posted on I See Invisible People on Wednesday.

The theme of the issue will be “Feminism and Challenges – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.” Possible topics including: self-determination in health and mental health care, disability issues, transgender issues, issues of aging, integration of religion and feminist beliefs, economic issues, etc.

Nominations can be sent to ISeeInvisiblePeople AT gmail.com or through the online form.

The next carnival is sweeping up fast, and with a lot of the world celebrating Easter soon, make sure you don’t miss out!

The second call for nominations is up – the suggested (although not compulsory topic) is “Feminism and Challenges – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.” Possible topics including: self-determination in health and mental health care, disability issues, transgender issues, issues of aging, integration of religion and feminist beliefs, economic issues, etc.

They can be sent to ISeeInvisiblePeople AT gmail.com, or submitted via the nomination form.

Please help to spread the word!
