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
during the 70s and early 80s. The new feminist presses turned

of the British book scene, and looked instead at what that world
literally couldn't see: the writing of women who hadn't been to
Oxford or Cambridge, and who weren't necessarily white or
heterosexual or middle-class, and who didn't speak with the
polished vowels of Bloomsbury. The new

Feminist Review is a peer reviewed, interdisciplinary journal setting new agendas for feminism.

Popular music expresses our deepest wishes and political flights, our imaginary bright sides of life. It is a token of love, of post/adolescent wishes, of possible sexualities and genders. It's functions as a field of research and as a ground for feminist and anti-racist networking.

Wir Frauen, a volunteer produced magazine, represents more than 25 years the same questions: Who benefits from the relationships? Who creates the conditions? Who pays the price? How can women resist, here and elsewhere? Where and how can they realize their ideas and concepts of life, their rights to self-determination and participation?
