Bec Wonders – MONDAY 30TH NOV
Books, Periodicals and Women’s Archives: a brief history of secondwave feminist print culture – Talk and Workshop
Bec Wonders is a feminist PhD researcher at the Glasgow School of Art in the field of feminist conflict, the Women’s Liberation Movement and feminist publishing networks. She completed her Masters of Publishing at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada and co-founded the Vancouver Women’s Library. Currently she runs the online archive Frauenkultur which provides subject guides for women’s writing between 1965-1995.
Workshop description:
This workshop will look at the history of women’s publishing and feminist records. It will begin with an overview of why surges in the women’s movement are intertwined with the growth of women’s publishing ventures. We will primarily look at the period of second wave feminism between the late 1960s and early 1990s. The issues covered include:
Women’s presses and publishing houses during the second wave: who were they, how did they operate and what was their mission?
Examples of books, pamphlets and periodicals published by second wave feminists and the impact they had on the Women’s Liberation Movement
An overview of women’s archives that exist today and a brief history of why they matter
The goal of this workshop is to establish intergenerational linkages with women’s records in order to revive the life of the feminist print document and awaken renewed participation. The publishing experiments of the second wave constitute a rich foundation of knowledge which can inform our feminist practices today.
