Some things to add:
Feminism for REAL: Deconstructing the academic industrial complex of feminism. Came out in 2011, edited anthology by Jessica Yee.
Shameless did a podcast book review of Feminism for REAL!
And
Persistence: All Ways Butch and Femme. Came out in 2011, edited anthology by Ivan E. Coyote and Zena Sharman.
Description:
In the summer of 2009, butch writer and storyteller Ivan Coyote and gender researcher and femme dynamo Zena Sharman wrote down a wish-list of their favourite queer authors; they wanted to continue and expand the butch-femme conversation. The result is Persistence: All Ways Butch and Femme. The stories in these pages resist simple definitions. The people in these stories defy reductive stereotypes and inflexible categories. The pages in this book describe the lives of an incredible diversity of people whose hearts also pounded for some reason the first time they read or heard the words “butch” or “femme.”
The newly published graphic novella Heartbeats: The IZZAT Project by Pomegranate Tree Group.
Description: “Heartbeats: The IZZAT Project is comic book created by young South Asian women. It is a love letter to our communities. We came together as a group of young South Asian women to challenge how “izzat” or “honour” has been used to rationalize violence against us. Our bodies belong to us, not to patriarchs, media or governments. Heartbeats: The IZZAT Project affirms our right to safety.”
Over at Shameless, we had the opportunity to feature their amazing work in our magazine.
