Queer, feminism, diy culture, critique, and sci-fi related writings from the entirely brilliant Tea Hvala

Trouble and Strife was an independent radical feminist magazine published in Britain from 1983 to 2002 (as an English language sister-publication to the French journal Nouvelles questions féministes).

This new book, edited and with an introduction by former editorial
collective members Deborah Cameron and Joan Scanlon, collects together 30 of the best articles that appeared in the magazine, and also reproduces some of the cartoons which were one of its distinctive features. It contains sections on 'Controversies', 'Sexuality',
'Theory', 'History', and 'Culture'. Contributors include Dena Attar, Deborah Cameron, Christine Delphy, Stevi Jackson, Liz Kelly, Sigrid Rausing and Purna Sen.

This is a short version of a presentation that should have been held at the Civil Media conference 2009 in Salzburg (http://www.civilmedia.eu/). Unfortunatedly, Alek got sick and could not come but she sent this presentation and gave us permission to post it here.

"Scranton's first Ladyfest celebration on Friday, July 24, is much more than it seems. The festival has grown from a celebration of women to a festival to celebrate the entire region, according to event organizer Jessica Meoni." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOX53bxB8tw)
