  Thanks for the pictures Gwynn!

I'm so excited! A chapter I wrote about Sticker Sisters called "Sticking it to the Powers that Be" was just published in a new anthology.

The book is...

We Don't Need Another Wave: Dispatches from the Next Generation of Feminists
Edited by Melody Berger. Seal Press.


Here's what people are saying about the book:

"In this exciting collection of essays, a whole new crop of talented and fiercly political writers make the case that while each new 'wave' of feminists (suffragists, women's liberationists, riot grrls, etc.) may pass like so many political or cultural trends, as long as there's a need for revolution, *feminism* is here to stay." --Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards, co-authors of Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism and the Future

"We Don't Need Another Wave self-confidently flips the bird to those folks who might protest, as they so often do, that feminism isn't relevant in the lives of young women. The voices collected here are simultaneously outraged, snarky, hopeful, and lusty--and each one proving that political idealism lives on, as long as you know where to look."
--Andi Zeisler, co-founder, Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture


"Melody Berger has assembled a raucous rebuke to anyone who thinks that feminism is a thing of the past. This collection demonstrates that it is very much a part of our future."
--Rebecca Traister, Salon.com

"Only one f-word (besides fat) has the power to strike confusion in the hearts of women and panic in the minds of men: feminism. Just when we need it most, here's a collection of compelling viewpoints from fearless young feminists writing with equal parts passion, concern, opinion, analysis, and humor. Berger is right: We don't need another wave when this one is just beginning to roll."
--Wendy Shanker, author of The Fat Girl's Guide to Life

"These stories are a testament to the fact that there are still many battles to fight; and that today's women are not comfortable with being almost equal. We Don't Need Another Wave gives women a shot of inspiration and the knowledge that sisterhood is still powerful. Indeed, we don't need another wave; we just need to win every war."
--Dyann C. Logwood, Founding Publisher of HUES Magazine, Activist, and Educator

"We Don't Need Another Wave reanimates feminist pride, encourages unity, and fosters a momentous rallying cry. For those of us invested in words, but bursting toward action, Berger's collection of myriad and strident voices authenticates radical feminism as a movement-in-motion."
--Pamela Means, singer-songwriter
