Two related calls for help in the Feminist publishing world this week. The first, via Lisa Jervis over at the Bitch Magazine blog , is about South End Press. If you're not already familiar with South End, you should get to know them right now. They are, as their letter notes, "the nation's only unapologetically radical, Feminist, mission-driven, and majority women of color publishing collective." Their list is tremendous: big names like bell hooks, Vandana Shiva, and Howard Zinn, plus less well-known but no less important books from Incite!, Andrea Smith, Kristian Williams, and many more. And they're in trouble, because Borders is in trouble, and the unfortunate thing about the publishing business is that the actual producers of actual content are generally at the mercy of retailers and distributors when it comes to our financial survival. The short of it is that they need help, particularly in the form of their community supported publishing program. You pay a monthly fee and get their books for free. Sounds pretty great. More info about that program here . The second comes from Off Our Backs , an almost 40 year old Feminist news magazine. From an official statement: We are not closing down yet, but things are a bit difficult for us right now. We are trying some last-ditch efforts in the hopes that we will be able to raise enough funds to continue publishing. Ironically, we have been in a process of actually coming closer to ach ...

Saunter over to your women's studies bookshelf and open up that first flap to discover who published your favorite Feminist tomes. Chances are it wasn't Random House or Simon & Schuster, or one of the other major biggies (with a few exceptions). Instead you were probably introduced to feminism thanks to the ingenuity of publishers like the Feminist Press , Seal Press , or one of the other many, many small, independent publishers that takes a chance on Feminist lit. I just sold a new book (stay tuned for details), so I've been thinking a lot about ye ole publishing industry and the way it works. It is an industry that started out with a deep commitment to Ideas--to giving people the goods on how to live a great life, to challenging the status quo, to the development of long careers of writing, reading, and editing. But because of market forces hard to explain in one little blog post (Barnes & Noble, Amazon, the rise of less literary forms of entertainment etc.), the publishing industry is not heavily dependent on dollars and cents. This isn't to say that some books aren't published simply because they contain brilliant ideas, but it is to say that we would naïve if we really bought the idea that publishers aren't primarily interested in the bottom line these days. Did my editor at Simon & Schuster buy Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters because she felt a moral obligation to spread the word about food and fitness obsession? In part. ...

ICE raided a garment factory in Houston, and over 70 percent of those arrested were women. The FDA chose not to approve Gardasil, the HPV vaccine, for women ages 27 to 45. This doesn't mean women those ages can't get it -- it just means your insurance is not likely to cover it. Megan McArdle says guns are a Feminist issue.

For the past two weeks, I’ve been posting about feminism and economics, but I haven’t said much about Feminist economics, a sub-discipline within economics.

It's back folks! This series which I kicked off a few months back with the Millionaire Matchmaker edition. As a refresher: In this series we're going to share a few of our own (un)Feminist guilty pleasures. It's those pop culture things that you love, even though deep down inside you know that they might conflict with your Feminist values. Maybe it's a show that makes your Women's Studies 101 alarm go off, but you just can't stop tuning in every week. Maybe it's a celeb gossip blog, or an immature movie marketed to teen boys, or high-fashion magazines where all the models look half dead. Maybe you're just human, and humans are complex occasionally hypocritical beings. Maybe you have created your own unique definition of what it means to be Feminist that includes all of these guilty pleasures (and much more). We at Feministing believe there are ways to maintain a critical eye towards these (un)Feminist things while still enjoying them. It can even be fun! We think you believe this too and we are psyched to see what guilty pleasures you have to add to the mix. So on that note, to today's edition, which is reggaeton. Now maybe it's because I'm Cuban, but nothing gets me dancing faster than some good old reggaeton. We're talking Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, Wisin y Yandel, Aventura. I love most of it, but especially the songs with a great dance beat. Unfortunately, a lot of my favorite reggaeton tunes have horribly sexist and offensive ly ...
At Salon, Rebecca Traister has a love letter to her favorite sci-fi protagonist, Dana Scully: In this summer of Dark Knights and Hellboys and Iron Men, it's refreshing to be reminded -- as we will be this weekend, with the opening of "The-X-Files: I Want to Believe" -- that not so long ago, there was a science fiction series with a woman at its core, a heroine whose major goals were more about disproving the existence of extraterrestrial life than marrying Big, a chick who spent more time chasing fluke worms down toilets than trying on shoes. Awhile ago, Starziki6 posted some very similar sentiments on our community blog: Mostly, my love for the show (and I loved this show for eight seasons) had to do with Scully and how unique her character was. She was introduced to the show as its rational, scientific, and spiritual voice. When Mulder got himself into trouble by following his gut, Scully would reel him into reality by using her head. (It also happened that Scully got into trouble from using her head and Mulder could save her by following his gut, but the roles remained largely consistent.) I cannot love the show more for the way it depicted a strong, smart, beautiful, and ultimately Feminist woman. ...
