Interested in feminism? Interested in Third Wave Feminism? Interested in
agitating for social justice and a radical shift in the status quo? How
about radical independent media and activism? If so, please join the Women's
Initiative and AU Queers & Allies for a discussion with Melody Berger,
editor of The F-Word Zine: a radical feminist handbook for the revolution.
She'll be speaking about using indie media for Third Wave Feminist,
grassroots activism.

Melody started The F-Word as a senior at Temple University. Now in it's 3rd
issue, it was a 2006 Utne Reader Independent Press Award nominee and has
featured interviews with people like, comedian Margaret Cho,
musician/activist Peaches, artist Alix Olson, author Michelle Tea, and teen
activist Shelby Knox. The newest issue - the Outlaw Issue - features
interviews with historian, political scientist, social critic & activist
Howard Zinn, and Kate Bornstein who you may know from her radical work to
dismantle gender binaries and her books Gender Outlaw: Men Women and the
Rest of Us and My Gender Workbook.

Melody is very excited to meet young activists, feminists, queers,
non-queers, and radical people in general here at AU.  Hope to see you all
there!
