Network of women's museums

Submitted by elkezobl on Wed, 12/03/2008 - 20:14

History & memory

"There exist more than 40 women's museums worldwide which differ quite a lot in the foundation history, organizational set up and possibilities and which are strongly marked by the respective geographic location. Additionally more women’s museums initiatives could be found just before the congress started in the course of the research to the congress. To bring together and to link up these different realities seemed to be even more interesting.

Nikki McClure of Olympia, Washington is known for her painstakingly intricate and beautiful paper cuts. Armed with an X-acto knife, she cuts out her images from a single sheet of paper and creates a bold language that translates the complex poetry of motherhood, nature, and activism into a simple and endearing picture. - Cinders Gallery

She also gave us permission to use her beautiful images for our header for the grassroots feminism site. Thanks so much, Nikki!

Feminist Activist Forum

Submitted by elkezobl on Wed, 12/03/2008 - 10:41

The Feminist Activist Forum was set up in April 2007 by a bunch of people tired of being caught within a web of misrepresentation about what feminism is, and what feminism does. We want to challenge the claims of academia and the mass media that contemporary feminist activism does not exist, or that post-feminist stereotypes capture the collective imagination. We want a vibrant UK wide intergenerational feminist network to move forward with feminist activism today.
