Help save Bitch magazine

The woes that the publishing industry is facing are well. Magazines and newspapers are losing revenue, advertisements are down and layoffs continue. Hopefully we can all agree that a diversity of voices is beneficial for everyone.

I don't recall when I began reading Feministing, but I quickly began hooked. I don't agree with everything they post, but find it a refreshing/ provocative view on issues, news and culture. In a similar vein is a magazine called Bitch, which describes itself as commentary on the media-driven world from a feminist perspective. http://bitchmagazine.org/

The magazine is currently in financial trouble and needs to raise $40,000 to survive. I have to admit that I’ve never read Bitch – I read their blog, but for some reason haven’t been able to find it on the newsstand. However, I’m blogging about it because I think It’s so important that we support a diversity of voices.

Bitch magazine needs your help!

A coworker pointed this post out to me: What Feminist SF Books Should Be Movies?

Feminist SF: The Blog explores the topic after seeing a blog posting on the top 10 sci fi books that should be made into movies. Not only were there no women on the list, none of the books even had a female protoganist.

It’s interesting reading and good spot for reading ideas. Her list includes Anne McGaffrey, Catherynne M. Valente and Kate Elliot.
