There's nothing like a new issue of Bitch Magazine to get rid of my bloggers block. Trust me, it isn't that there aren't enough topics out there- more like there are SO many topics that deserve SO much critical analysis that some of them can be too daunting for me to take on when I'm trying to maintain new posts weekly and give every subject the justice it deserves.
Bitch: A Feminist Response to Pop Culture has been around for awhile now. The first issue was published in 1996! As the tag line says the magazine focuses on the way women are being portrayed in the media RIGHT NOW. With the overwhelming amount of issues effecting women- Bitch offers a crucial perspective from the very individuals experiencing them through media outlets. My personal favorite is the books section. Some titles from this new issue: Hip Hop Apsara:Ghosts Past and Present by Anne Elizabeth Moore, After Pornified: How Women are Transforming Pornography and Why it Really Matters by Anne G Sabo and Israel/Palestine And the Queer International by Sarah Schulman.
I suggest joining their "Bee Hive" and giving them a $10-$15 monthly contribution- you get the year free (4 issues) and you are supporting Feminist media!
