Spinifex Press celebrates the launch of Not Dead Yet: Feminism, Passion and Women’s Liberation with the second launch for The Americas.Contributors Phyllis Chesler, Peggy Luhrs, Evelyne Accad, Max Dashu, Magui Bellotti, Estelle Disch, Cheris Kramerae will talk about or read from their pieces in the book. Afterwards other contributors will join in with questions from audience members to follow.<h3>About the book</h3>What was it like to participate in the Women’s Liberation Movement? What made millions of women step forward from the 1960s onwards and join it in different ways? Many of the 56 women in this book were there. They describe how they have contributed in multitudinous ways across politics, the arts, health, education, environmentalism, economics and science and created wonderfully rebellious activism. And how they continue this activism today with determined grittiness. Here are women – all over 70 years of age – still railing against the patriarchal systemic oppression of women, still fighting back. “Don’t Call Me Sweetie,” “Never Waste a Good Crisis” and “Still Here, Still Clear and Still Lesbian” is some of what they want us to know. The contributors to Not Dead Yet have created new analyses with new language and new kinds of organisations always aware of the ways in which the system is stacked against us, particularly against radical feminists. But we persist. We share the revolutionary zest we have carried with us over many decades. There is history, there is subversion and there are many extraordinary acts of courage. The language is full of irony and wit – as well as deadly serious.The Women’s Liberation Movement has had a profound effect on the lives of millions of women and in turn those women have changed our world. But the struggle continues. May these riveting tales by the foremothers of the movement inspire young women readers. #NotDeadYet<h3>Order now</h3>Read the book before the launch.
