Mixed Media: Feminist Presses and Publishing Politics

Murray (U. of Queensland) examines the feminist press movement that arose during the last quarter of the twentieth century and assesses its long-term impact on the publishing industry. Through a series of case studies, she highlights the recurring conflicts between publishers' political goals and their need to make a profit. Coverage includes racial politics; feminist publishing in academia; and radical writing practice. Distributed in the U.S. by the U. of Michigan Press. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
