ABOUT SHEBA FEMINIST PRESS

Sheba Feminist Press was established in 1980 -- one of a handful
of small independent publishers born of the UK women's movement

A DVD-publication edited my María José Belbel and Rosa Reitsamer, funded by Arteleku (Diputación de Gipuzkoa, Donostia/San Sebastian, Basque Country)

Teaser Image: 

Outwrite newspaper, produced by a collective of women throughout the 1980s, was dedicated to offering news by women, for women. Self-defined as an ‘internationlist feminist’ publication, the paper focused on ‘the development of feminism worldwide’ and an examination of women’s oppressions ‘in the context of imperialism, racism and class divisions.’

Carving new ground, the newspaper was dedicated to covering social justice campaigns from an ‘internationalist’ position critical of imperialism, colonialism, racism, classism and sexism—all from women’s perspectives.
