I wanted to share them with the group. In this theory reading group, we&#8217;ve read articles that challenge us, things that we might not agree with but it would be helpful for us to know what they are. I often recommend Janice Raymond&#8217;s &#8220;Women as Womb&#8221; in that way: by understanding her larger critique of medical technologies and individual choices, one could more fully understand her vitriolic (and insincere) work on transsexual women (<i>The Trans-sexual Empire: Making of the She-Male<\/i>) that she is most notorious for. I also picked some books related to critical disability theory and others that deals with the concept of violence\/nonviolence critically because they could be good themes for our future meetings.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>List of books I brought to June <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/25352281067\/\" target=\"_blank\">Portland Feminist Meet-up<\/a> discussion on &#8220;waves&#8221; of feminism at In Other Words community center, June 3rd, 2012.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Letters of Intent: Women Cross the Generations to Talk About Family, Work, Sex, Love and the Future of Feminism<\/i> ed. by Anna Bondoc &amp; Meg Daly<\/li>\n<li><i>To Be Real: Telling the Truth and Changing the Face of Feminism<\/i> ed. by Rebecca Walker<\/li>\n<li><i>Listen Up!: Voices from the Next Feminist Generation<\/i> ed. by Barbara Findlen<\/li>\n<li><i>Third Wave Agenda: Being Feminist, Doing Feminism<\/i> ed. by\n<li><i>Catching a Wave: Reclaiming Feminism for the 21st Century <\/i> ed. by Rory Dicker &amp; Alison Piepmeier<\/li>\n<li><i>Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future<\/i> by Jennifer Baumgardner &amp; Amy Richards<\/li>\n<li><i>Daughters of Feminists: Young Women with Feminist Mothers Talk about Their Lives<\/i> by Rose Glickman<\/li>\n<li><i>We Don&#8217;t Need Another Wave: Dispatches from the Next Generation of Feminists<\/i> ed. by Melody Berger<\/li>\n<li><i>Feminist Fatale: Voices from Twentysomething Generation Explore Future Women&#8217;s Movement<\/i> by Paula Kamen<\/li>\n<li>various issues of <i>HUES<\/i> magazine<\/li>\n<li>the first issue of <i>Alice<\/i> magazine<\/li>\n<li>early issues of <i>Bitch<\/i> and <i>BUST<\/i> magazines<\/li>\n<li>Rebecca Walker&#8217;s article, &#8220;Becoming the Third Wave&#8221; from January\/February 1992 issue of <i>Ms.<\/i> magazine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Librarian wannabe comments: <i>To Be Real<\/i>, <i>Listen Up!<\/i>, and <i>Third Wave Agenda<\/i> were all important &#8220;third wave&#8221; anthologies in the mid-1990s, but they framed &#8220;third wave&#8221; differently. <i>Listen Up!<\/i> was edited by a second wave feminist to &#8220;give voice to&#8221; younger women, which made it the most palatable (to second wave feminists) representation of the &#8220;third wave&#8221; voices, whereas <i>Third Wave Agenda<\/i> traces the roots of &#8220;third wave&#8221; in the tradition of radical women of color feminism that have resisted second wave orthodoxy since the 1970s. <i>Letters of Intent<\/i> is the most interesting book ever published on the intergenerational conflict between feminists. <i>Daughters of Feminists<\/i> and <i>Feminist Fatale<\/i> are usually not associated with the third wave because they came earlier than that phrase but points to what was to come. <i>HUES<\/i> magazine, co-edited by <i>Adios, Barbie\/Body Outlaws<\/i> editor Ophira Edut, was for me the single most important feminist magazine in the mid-1990s that represented to me what third wave was all about. Reading earlier issues of <i>Bitch<\/i> and <i>BUST<\/i> is interesting because <i>Bitch<\/i> was pretty much what it is today pretty since early on, while earlier issues of <i>BUST<\/i> was actually more like what <i>Bitch<\/i>: clearly and identifiably feminist, rather than simply giving feminism a lip service to sell products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>List of books I brought to &#8220;Show &amp; Tell&#8221; at Queer\/Feminist Theory Reading Group at Portland Q Center, June 24th, 2012.
