book you have to contribute to!!!

hiya: we're a group of girls in britain and we're putting together a book anthology of radical eureopean feminist's experiences and we're looking for contributors!
the motivation behind the project is that there's alot of third wave/radical feminist liturature coming out of the US but not much looking at the experiences of european women. as well, alot of the really radical feminist ideas are being explored in the underground/diy/anarchist scene and it would be really good to collect them together in a book.
we're planning on printing and distroing the book ourselves and as such it's going to be a non-profit venture. we're after three types of contributions: a. short (around 400-500 words) pieces on feminist projects/actions/groups you're involved in
b. original graphics/drawings/cartoons/comics with a feminist/woman friendly message or undertone
c. longer pieces (around 1500-2500 words) about your personal experiences; some questions to bear in mind -
1. what was it like for you growing up in this society?
2. what does living in a patriarchal society mean to you - how do you define patriarchy?
3. What does feminism mean to you?
4. How do you think your activities in the diy/underground movement relate to your feminism?
We'd like all contributors to include a short biog, pseudonym are cool if you prefer. we'd like it if you could include contact info but again that's optional.
All writings need to be sent by either email or on a floppy disc, and have to be Microsoft Word 2000 compatible. Artwork can either be sent by
-email
-or through the post.
Deadline for all contributions is the 15th of September, and all contributions should be sent to:
cat, the steppes, lugwardine, hereford, HR1 4AL
or emailed to bloodlove@gurlmail.com
please please can you forward this to as many european girls (who would be interested) as possible - we really want to spread the word as widely as possible there should be an web page about the book up and running soon - go to http://connect.to/synthesis and follow the links thanx and if you've got any further questions just email us
