living west as feminists | blog

The Living West as Feminists book project goes on the road to have conversations about how feminists live their relations to place and to land.  Each participant chooses a place of significance. In those places we sit down for a time, we talk. We take up the vexed terms “feminism,” “whiteness,” and “the West,” and work with them. The conversations will shed light on the where of feminists now. The bigger hope, beyond the conflicts of feminism, is to nurture whatever we share, to learn from cross-cutting histories, to create “rest areas” or places of wellbeing and security across all kinds of trouble.
