Thanks to Virago!
I have taken delivery of a beautiful collection of books from Virago who are celebrating their 40th birthday this year. The introduction to their 'Virago is 40' ebook is here and it's quite inspirational. We have a physical copy of 'Virago is 40' for our raffle, as well as titles by Margaret Atwood, Muriel Spark and Sarah Dunant among others.
Charity Raffle - Thanks to Icon Books!
We've been brainstorming ways to integrate activism into our event and one of the ideas we had was to have a raffle for Women's Aid and a local charity, the Women's Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre (WRASAC) Tayside. And how do we make this raffle academic? Well, we're going to raffle off some of the amazing feminist books that have come out in the UK over the last few years.
Thanks go to Icon Books who have very generously sent us copies of Delusions of Gender and Introducing Feminism: A Graphic Guide. We'll let you know some of the other titles that will be included in the raffle as we receive them so that you can start getting excited about the great prizes that we'll have on offer.
In other news, registration will be opening very soon. We will be emailing all delegates about this automatically; if you didn't get an abstract in, but you want to be kept up to date about registration etc. then drop us an email at smashingthepatriarchy[at]gmail.com and we'll add you to our mailing list. That way, you'll be kept in the loop and you won't miss out on what is shaping up to be a great day of sisterhood and books.
