The Carnival of Feminist No 42 is now up on Uncool, and a mighty spectacular collection it is, with many blogs that I haven’t previously seen – there is a general “sex-positive” theme, but you won’t be sent anywhere unsafe for even conservative workplaces without warning.

I thought the post on Ex-Courtesan in Transition, on the dangers of victim feminism, was particularly powerful.

Lina did a great job, despite the computer gods conspiring against her – so don’t waste time here – please go over there and check it out!

It’s here, it’s huge, it’s great – Carnival of Feminists No 41 over on Cruella-blog.

So many goodies I hardly know what to pick out – an F-word podcast (yeah – let’s take the boys’ toys away), a great post of pregnancy and motherhood that reminds me hugely of all of the friends I’ve watched go through it over the years, and much, much more…

But don’t waste time here – go over there and check it out!

There was a bit of waiting for it, since we lost a host along the way, but it proved well worth it: the Carnival of Feminists No 40 is now up on the hidden side of the leaf.

And it is something a bit different – a carnival on the theme of women and books – there is a book about breasts (pretty “womanly” that); a book translated Tamizh, the language of the Tamils of South India; and, a book about biblical businesswomen, plus much, much more.

But don’t waste time here – do go over there and check it out.

I can only apologise – I don’t know where the first half of June has gone really, but the Carnival of Feminists has been up on Laurelin in the Rain for a week now and I haven’t pointed you over to it. All I can really do is point you there now, and I’m particularly taken by its international aspects – Kenya, Iraq and more.

So don’t waste time over here – do go over there and check it out. (If of course you haven’t done so already and are wondering how I’ve been so off the ball!)
