What They're Saying
Critics Review
A very warm welcome to”Dead Feminists.” The world wants it. Jill Lepore, “New York Times”bestselling author of”Book of Ages”and”The Secret History of Wonder Woman” At once a tale of claiming the process and technology to tell our stories and a history of women, this book introduces us to remarkable women we never knew, and reintroduces us to those we only thought we knew. These dead feminists, so often kept in the shadows, glow with life. Kseniya Thomas & Jessica C. White, authors of”Ladies of Letterpress” “Dead Feminists”offers well-researched and meticulously illustrated insight into some of America s inspiring historic heroines but it also goes way beyond that. This book is a profound and super-smart look at feminist craft, creation, and collaboration, and reminds us that what goes on behind the scenes can be just as powerful as the finished product.I am so grateful to Chandler and Jessica for allowing us into their radical world. Kate Schatz, author of the “New York Times”bestseller “Rad American Women A-Z”and “Rad Women Worldwide” “
