Anyone have any favorite readings or texts about feminism and pregnancy/motherhood/etc? thinking especially of ones that connect the personal or practical to the systemic/theoretical, etc...
Inspired by @la_louve_rouge_, Manuela Zechner (thecommonsjournal.org/articl…), etc

Contents page below! There are some very meaty discussions in the book. I'm looking forward to chatting with folks about some of the (potentially controversial) takes I have 🙊
I was intentional about adding to debates about who we remember - and why we forget...👇🏾

Bringing together some inspiration from the internet… can we have another “Marxism for Infants” ?! Seems like there’s so much potential in starting from this viewpoint of life/care/learning 🐣

This is a great write up on London squat cafes of the past by Chris, who’s been there! Stirred a lot of memories - (yes, I designed that ‘Guilt & Disillusionment’ flier!)
of cooking at Bonnington Square cafe when it was a squat… at 121 in Brixton…
Well worth a read.

In the years before Internet, people sent details of their demos and events to listing magzines! City Limits was one of those!
Founded in 1981 by former staff members of the weekly London listings magazine Time Out after a dispute.
These listings are now very informative🤓

Still curious to learn more about the Brooklyn-based "New York Women's School" in the 1970s. Anyone come across more info or archive?
