New books are on the shelves - just arrive from AK Press, we have numerous historical, biographical, theoretical and practical titles. The books include some of the latest published plus reprints of old classics. Edited by self-described 'feminist warriors not perfectionists', Dear Sister contains lessons, memories, and vision of over fifty artists, activists, mothers, writers, and students who share their stories of survival or what it means to be an advocate and ally to survivors. Those speaking in the book include a professor in the Midwest US, a poet in Belgium, an escapee from a child prostitution ring, an advocate in the Congo, and a sex worker in San Francisco. Dear Sister touches on issues of feminism, love, disability, gender, justice, identity, and spirituality. It is described as a multi-generational, multi-ethnic collection of letters and essays. Read an excerpt from the book here .   We also have a copy of Sophie Lyon's ' Queen of the Underworld '
