The First Carnival of Radical Feminists…

…is up at Women’s Space and it’s totally brilliant!

If changing the crappy status of women and children in this world is important to you, this is an incredibly thought provoking collection of material that should have you out there, walking the walk, absolutely fired up.

As commenter Illumina said:

Made with love and it shows

And that’s something that’s often conveniently overlooked when some people opine about radical feminism – it comes from love, it’s built on love, it’s about love – love of humanity; all humanity. Yes, radical feminism analyses and challenges power relations and, yes, that can feel pretty uncomfortable for some. Doesn’t mean that power relations should remain unexamined or unchallenged though, does it?

And love seems to be a rather unfashionable concept these days – much like radical feminism, funnily enough – but, hey ho, it’s still the motivator of radical feminism and it still makes the world go round.
