The Carnival of Feminists No 17 is now up on Bitch| Lab, and it is one cornucopia of delights. I was particularly taken with the post about Flappers and feminism, about the exploitation of smuggled workers, and astonished by the news that female athletes are being made to take pregnancy tests before competing. But no doubt you’ll have your own favourites.
The “official” summary:
Themes covered:
1. The virtues of being mouthy, talking back, refusing norms of politeness, etc.
2. Explorations of Carol Hanisch’s original meaning behind the popular
phrase, ‘the personal is political.’
3. Solstice Sex Positive Feminist Mini-Carnival, plus scattered notes on
the BJ Wars.
There are also beautiful, witty, and hilarious posts on motherhood,
reproductive rights, comic book fandom, movie and book reviews, violence
against women, critical readings of advertisements, body image, feminist
analyses of misogyny in rock music, and feminist takes on media and
culture, and more….
There are a lot of bloggers there I haven’t seen involved in the carnival, which is great!
Please help to spread the word…
